Compliance essentials
Strategic guides: deadline roadmaps, enforcement costs, and market access for non-EU brands.
Best EU compliance platform 2026 — what to look for
Seven criteria for choosing an EU product compliance platform, and a fair look at the options in 2026 — Regonance, Euverify, EaseCert, EcoComply, GPSR-only tools and consultants.
Do small businesses need EU product compliance? (Yes — here's why)
There is no size exemption in GPSR, PPWR, the Battery Regulation or EmpCo. Where thresholds genuinely exist, why marketplace enforcement is size-blind, and why a small catalogue is far cheaper to make compliant than sellers assume.
EPR registration service — we handle your registration across EU countries
Packaging, WEEE and battery EPR multiply with every country you sell into. What an EPR registration service does, why sellers struggle alone, what it costs, and how Regonance handles it.
EU compliance audit — what it costs, what you get, how to start
What an EU product compliance audit should cover, what the deliverable looks like, what the market charges, and Regonance's published prices — from €499 for one product across all nine regulations.
EU compliance for US and UK brands: the complete market access guide
If you are a US or UK brand selling consumer products to EU buyers, 2024–2026 has fundamentally changed your compliance obligations. The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), the Empowering Consumers Directive (EmpCo), and intensified marketplace enforcement mean that selling into the EU now requires structured compliance work that many non-EU brands have never done.
EU compliance services for e-commerce sellers — platform vs. managed vs. consultant
Three ways to get EU product compliance done: a self-serve platform, a managed compliance service, or a traditional consultant. Honest comparison of cost, speed, maintenance and scalability — and how to choose.
EU product compliance roadmap 2026–2030: every deadline in one place
EU product compliance is not a single event. It is a rolling series of deadlines — some already enforced, some weeks away, some years out. Missing one can mean listing suppression, customs refusal, fines, or product recalls. This roadmap consolidates every major EU product compliance deadline from 2026 through 2030 in one reference document.
Every EU compliance deadline from now to 2031 — the complete timeline
The chronological reference: every deadline across all nine EU regulations from 2026 to 2031 and beyond, grouped by year, with what each one means, who it affects and which dates still depend on delegated acts.
GPSR compliance done for you — how managed compliance works
What managed GPSR compliance means in practice: the six-step process, what you receive, published prices from €499, timelines, and when you do not need it.
How much does EU product compliance actually cost in 2026?
A single electronic product sold in two EU countries costs roughly €10,900 in the first year through traditional consultants. Every cost category itemised, then priced four ways — DIY, platform, managed and consultant — at one, ten and fifty products.
Regonance vs. hiring a compliance consultant: what's the real difference?
Consultants sell bespoke expertise, platforms sell scale and consistency. An honest comparison on cost, speed, ongoing maintenance, documentation and regulatory currency — including the four situations where you should hire the consultant.
The cost of EU product non-compliance: fines, delistings, and recalls in 2025–2026
Non-compliance with EU product regulations is no longer a theoretical risk. In 2025 and 2026, enforcement has accelerated across every channel — marketplace automated checks, customs interceptions, market-surveillance authority actions, and Safety Gate alerts have all increased significantly. The cost of non-compliance is no longer limited to a fine you might someday receive. It is listing suppression today, customs refusal tomorrow, and a recall notice next week.
The hidden costs of EU compliance nobody tells you about
Lab testing, per-country EPR fees, three stacked representative appointments, translation, annual reporting that never ends, and the revenue cost of a suspended listing. The six cost categories that are missing from every quote you will receive.
What is the EU Battery Regulation and who does it affect?
Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 covers batteries sold alone, inside products or with products — so most consumer electronics brands are battery producers. What already applies (registration, take-back, labelling, removability) and what the February 2027 digital battery passport will require.
Which EU regulations apply to your product? A simple guide
A plain decision tree across all nine EU mandates — consumer product, packaging, battery, environmental claims, electronics, chemicals, passports and repair — plus a product-type matrix and the four beliefs that get sellers suspended.
