What is Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)? The EU's per-country register/report/pay regime, in plain English

EPR makes the company placing a product on the market financially responsible for its post-consumer stage. It runs per-country and per-stream — packaging, WEEE, batteries, textiles — with marketplace delisting now the sharpest enforcement lever. Here's what it actually is.

EU Responsible Person (EU RP): who needs one, what they actually do, and how to designate one

An EU Responsible Person is the EU-established economic operator that authorities can reach when a non-EU brand sells into the Union. Since 13 December 2024, every covered consumer product placed on the EU market must have one named on the listing, the product, or the packaging. Here is what the role does, who needs it, and what to put in place this quarter.

GPSR for Shopify sellers: the Article 19 block, the EU Responsible Person, and what changes for every EU-shipping store

Shopify is not a marketplace under GPSR Article 22 — which makes the seller, not the platform, responsible for Article 19 compliance on every listing. Here is the exact listing block, the EU Responsible Person requirement, the theme-template change, and the per-region catalogue audit every Shopify store needs to run for the EU 27.

What is a Digital Product Passport (DPP)? The EU's per-SKU data record, in plain English

The Digital Product Passport is the structured digital record the EU is rolling out under ESPR — batteries first (Feb 2027), textiles next, then most physical product categories through 2030. Here's what it actually contains, who has to issue one, and what to do this quarter.

What is GPSR? A plain-English overview

The EU General Product Safety Regulation has been enforceable since 13 December 2024. Here is what it actually changes for online sellers — the obligations, the dates, and the practical baseline.

What is REACH SVHC? The 0.1% w/w per-article threshold and Article 33 communication duty, in plain English

REACH — Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 — requires anyone supplying an article in the EU that contains a Substance of Very High Concern above 0.1% w/w per article to (a) communicate sufficient information up the B2B chain under Article 33(1), (b) respond to consumer requests within 45 days under Article 33(2), and (c) notify the ECHA SCIP database. The Candidate List is updated by ECHA roughly each January and June — every update can pull new substances into your existing products.

What is CE marking? The EU self-declaration that lets you place a product on the market

CE marking is the manufacturer's declaration that a product meets every applicable EU product directive — Toy Safety, LVD, EMC, RED, PPE or Machinery, in most ecommerce cases. It is self-declared (Module A) for non-Annex-IV products, but you must hold a technical file and a signed EU Declaration of Conformity (EN ISO/IEC 17050-1) for ten years. Amazon EU has intensified DoC requests since August 2025 and delists ASINs that cannot produce one.

What is EmpCo? The EU's anti-greenwashing law, in plain English

EmpCo — Directive (EU) 2024/825 — is the live EU law banning vague eco-claims, offset-based 'carbon neutral' product claims and unverified sustainability labels. Enforcement starts 27 September 2026. Here's what it actually does.

What is the EU Right to Repair Directive? Plain-English overview of (EU) 2024/1799

The Right to Repair Directive — (EU) 2024/1799 — forces manufacturers of regulated product categories (washing machines, dishwashers, fridges, vacuum cleaners, smartphones, tablets and the categories ESPR expands to) to repair on request, offer spare parts and tools at a non-discriminatory price, and provide an indicative repair price up front using the standardised European Repair Information Form (Annex I). Repaired products get a 12-month warranty extension. Member states must apply the directive by 31 July 2026.

What is PPWR? The EU's directly-applicable packaging law, in plain English

PPWR — Regulation (EU) 2025/40 — is the EU's new packaging law. Same text in all 27 member states. General application starts 12 August 2026, with tightening milestones through 2038. Here's what it actually does.

GPSR on Amazon EU: the Manufacturer Contact attribute, the EU Responsible Person field, and how Seller Central enforces Article 22

Amazon is the EU's largest GPSR enforcer. The Manufacturer Contact and Responsible Person attributes in Seller Central are mandatory on covered listings since 13 December 2024, and Amazon delists non-compliant ASINs automatically. Here is what each field expects, the per-marketplace differences, and the audit every Amazon EU seller needs to run this quarter.

Non-EU seller obligations: the actual EU compliance stack for brands shipping into the Union from outside

If you sell physical consumer products into the EU from outside it, six regimes attach to every order: GPSR, EU Responsible Person, EPR, PPWR, EmpCo, and (from 2027 onwards) DPP. Here is the full obligation stack, the deadlines that are already live, and the operational checklist for 2026.

Banned green claims under EmpCo: the six practices to remove from your marketing

Under Directive (EU) 2024/825, six specific marketing practices are banned outright across the EU 27 from 27 September 2026 — no balancing test, no defence. Here are the six, with concrete before/after examples.

PPWR packaging requirements: the seven checks every EU seller must pass

PPWR (Regulation (EU) 2025/40) imposes seven concrete packaging requirements that phase in between 12 August 2026 and 2038. This guide walks each check with what is enforceable now versus what to capture for upcoming milestones.

EPR registration by country: the EU 27 register/report/pay map sellers actually need

EPR is implemented per member state — LUCID, ADEME, CONAI, Verpact and 24 others. Here's how the national registers work for packaging, WEEE, batteries and textiles, what PPWR Art. 44 changes from 12 August 2026, and where non-EU sellers need an Authorised Representative.

DPP for textiles: what sellers should track now

The Digital Product Passport lands on textiles before most other categories. Here is what fashion and apparel sellers should be capturing in 2026 to be ready.

Seller responsibilities under GPSR

GPSR assigns specific duties to manufacturers, importers, distributors and fulfilment providers. This guide maps the obligations to the role you actually play — and what 'documented' means when an authority asks.

Required product information under GPSR

GPSR Article 19 lists the information online sellers must surface before checkout — manufacturer details, Responsible Person, identifiers, warnings, safe-use instructions. Here is what each field really means in practice.

EPR for online sellers: how marketplaces enforce it, and what gets your listings delisted

For e-commerce sellers, the sharpest EPR risk in 2026 isn't national fines — it's marketplace delisting under the Digital Services Act. Here's how Amazon EU, Otto, Bol.com and others enforce EPR, what pay-on-behalf actually costs, and how to pre-empt suspension.

PPWR for e-commerce sellers: the parcel, the marketplace, and what changes 12 August 2026

PPWR explicitly covers e-commerce packaging and names online marketplaces as responsible actors. From 12 August 2026, the shipping box, mailer and polybag are in scope — and listing-level enforcement is the sharpest stick. Here's the practical guide.

GPSR for Etsy sellers: handmade is not exempt, the Responsible Person field, and what changes for makers shipping into the EU

Etsy is a marketplace under GPSR Article 22, and 'handmade' carries no exemption from the General Product Safety Regulation. Since 13 December 2024, every Etsy listing shipped into the EU 27 must carry manufacturer, Responsible Person, and warnings — and Etsy delists listings missing them. Here is what an Etsy shop actually needs to do.

EmpCo for fashion and textile brands: the highest-risk sector, mapped to the six bans

Fashion is the most-scrutinised sector under EmpCo. Generic 'sustainable' collections, offset-based 'climate neutral' garments, and self-made eco-badges are squarely in the banned set. Here's the sector-specific playbook for 2026.

DPP and product traceability: the supply-chain data work the passport actually demands

The Digital Product Passport is a traceability instrument before it is a consumer-facing artefact. Here's the data chain — identifier, components, suppliers, substances, country of origin, evidence — that any DPP under ESPR or the Batteries Regulation will demand, and how to start capturing it now.

GPSR for online marketplaces

GPSR Article 22 layers product-safety duties on top of the Digital Services Act. Here is what online marketplaces must now do, and what sellers should expect from the platforms they list on.

Common GPSR mistakes online sellers make

After a year of GPSR enforcement, the same gaps appear over and over in marketplace suppressions and national-authority findings. Here are the seven most common — and what a clean fix looks like.

Ecommerce compliance readiness: the per-SKU, per-regime readiness framework for EU-shipping catalogues in 2026

EU compliance is not a single 'are we compliant?' verdict — it is a per-SKU, per-regime readiness state across GPSR, EU RP, EPR, PPWR, EmpCo and DPP. Here is the five-layer framework, the per-SKU score that drives prioritisation, and the catalogue-audit pattern that turns a regulatory backlog into a shippable engineering ticket list.

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.

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.

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.

US seller? Here's every EU regulation that applies to your products

If you sell products to EU consumers from the United States, you face 9 EU regulations — GPSR, PPWR, EmpCo, EPR, Battery, CE, REACH, and more. Here's exactly what applies, what you need to do, and the registration numbers you need before your first sale.

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 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.

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.

I sell on a marketplace to the EU — what compliance do I need?

Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, eBay, Bol.com, Zalando and Kaufland compared. The regulation does not change by marketplace; the enforcement intensity does — and an unchecked channel is a deferred risk, not a smaller one.

Non-EU seller? Here's every EU regulation that applies to you

UK, US and Asia-based sellers have the identical duty set — and usually need three separate representative appointments, not one. The full obligation list, the enforcement channel per origin, and a practical sequence to work through.

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.

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.

EU compliance deadlines for e-commerce sellers: what's urgent right now

The six-month view: what marketplaces and authorities are checking today, what lands before spring 2027, what can honestly wait — and the three things to do this month if you do nothing else.

EU compliance for consumer electronics sellers: the complete guide

Electronics is the highest-regulation-density category in the EU: GPSR, the Battery Regulation, the CE stack (LVD, EMC, RoHS, RED), PPWR, WEEE, REACH and DPP. How the CE directives interact, why WEEE and packaging are both required, and what to prepare now.

EU compliance for toy sellers and children's products

Toys carry the heaviest enforcement in the EU: the Toy Safety Directive, GPSR's vulnerable-consumer risk expectation, battery removability from February 2027 colliding with secured battery compartments, and the REACH restrictions that bite hardest on children's products.

EU compliance for fashion, textiles, and apparel brands

The textile passport is in the first wave of ESPR delegated acts, EmpCo makes fashion's sustainability vocabulary legally risky from 27 September 2026, PPWR covers polybags and hangers, and REACH has restricted textile substances for years. The full picture for an apparel brand.

EU Battery Regulation: does your product need compliance?

If your product contains or comes with a battery — built-in, removable, rechargeable or disposable — Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 applies to you, even if you only import finished goods. Which products are in scope, the five battery categories, the producer and deemed-producer rules, and how battery duties sit alongside GPSR.

Battery labelling requirements 2026–2027: what must be on your product

The Annex VI markings have applied since August 2026 and the QR code becomes mandatory on 18 February 2027. Exactly what has to appear on the battery, the packaging or the documentation — capacity, chemistry, hazardous substance symbols, collection symbol, size rules — and how it differs from GPSR traceability marks.

What is the Digital Battery Passport and how to prepare before February 2027

A full battery passport is required for LMT, industrial over 2 kWh and EV batteries — not for portable consumer cells, which get a QR code instead. What the passport contains under Article 77, why it is a supplier-data problem rather than a software problem, and a preparation plan by battery category.

Amazon flagged my listing for battery non-compliance — how to fix it

Amazon validates battery producer registration numbers at listing level for EU offers, and Germany's BattDG makes it a hard gate. What the platform checks, an eight-step route back to active, the five mistakes that cause suspensions, and how to stop it happening on your next launch.

Battery EPR registration: which EU countries require it and how to register

Battery producer registration is national, not EU-wide. Germany's BattDG register at the UBA, France's ADEME identifier, and the requirements in the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Austria and Sweden — plus the authorised representative rule and why one product can need packaging, battery and WEEE registration in the same country.

The removable battery rule: what changes for product design from February 2027

From 18 February 2027, portable batteries in consumer products must be removable and replaceable by the end user under Article 11. What that means mechanically, which product categories are affected, why the wet-environment exemptions are narrower than sellers assume, and how the transition treats stock already on the market.

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.

REVIEWED BY THE REGONANCE EDITORIAL TEAM

13 MIN READ · UPDATED 26 SEPTEMBER 2026

HAVE A PRODUCT TO CHECK?SCAN IT FREE →

A growing number of platforms and services help sellers manage EU product compliance. Choosing the right one depends on what you sell, how many products you have, and whether you want to do the work yourself or have someone handle it.

This guide gives you a framework for evaluating any compliance platform, then describes the main options on the market as of September 2026 — including ours — with the strengths and limits of each. We have tried to be fair. Where we describe another provider, we rely only on what they publish on their own website, and we recommend checking their current offering directly, because this market is moving quickly.

A declaration of interest: Regonance is one of the platforms described below. We think the evaluation criteria matter more than any ranking, and we would rather you choose the right tool than choose us for the wrong reasons.

Why this decision is harder in 2026

Two years ago, "EU compliance tool" mostly meant GPSR — sellers scrambling to add Responsible Person details before the December 2024 deadline. Since then the stack has grown: PPWR applied from 12 August 2026, EmpCo's green-claims rules from 27 September 2026, battery labelling from August 2026 with the battery passport following in February 2027, the Right to Repair Directive, and the first Digital Product Passport requirements on the way.

A tool that was the right choice for GPSR in 2024 may cover only one of the regulations that now affect your products. That is not a flaw in the tool — it is a mismatch between the tool and the problem.

What to evaluate: seven criteria

1. Regulation coverage

How many EU regulations does the platform cover, and are they the ones that apply to your products? Most specialist tools cover one or two. A seller of cotton T-shirts may genuinely need only GPSR, textile labelling, packaging EPR and EmpCo. A seller of rechargeable electronics needs product safety, CE marking, WEEE, batteries, packaging, REACH and more.

Ask: Which regulations do you cover today? Which are on the roadmap, and when?

2. Obligation depth

Does the platform map specific obligations, or give an overview? "GPSR applies to your product" is scoping. "Your listing is missing the Responsible Person's electronic address required by Article 19(b)" is assessment.

Ask: How many obligations do you map per regulation? Can I see them?

3. Source tracing

Are findings cited to the regulation article, or is it a black-box verdict? When an authority or marketplace challenges you, "the tool said so" is not an answer. A citation lets you — or your lawyer — check the reasoning.

Ask: Does every finding link to its legal source?

4. Documentation

Does the platform generate audit-ready documentation, or just flag issues? Flagging is useful; producing the risk analysis, technical file structure, repair information form or packaging declaration is what actually closes the gap.

Ask: What documents can I export, and in what format?

5. Ongoing monitoring

Does it track regulation changes and re-assess your products? EU product rules change through delegated acts, implementing acts, guidance and national transposition — several times a year across the nine main regulations. The ECHA Candidate List of substances of very high concern is typically updated twice a year.

Ask: Give me an example of a rule change in the last year and what the platform did about it.

6. Managed services

Can you hand the work over if needed? Many sellers start self-serve and discover they do not have the time. A provider that can switch you to a managed service in the same workspace saves a painful migration.

Ask: If I want someone to do this for me, what does that cost and what changes?

7. Pricing transparency

Is pricing published, or hidden behind a sales call? Published pricing is not automatically cheaper, but it lets you compare without negotiating.

Ask: Where is your pricing page?

A further question for any provider that offers representation: is the representation service separable from the software? Some sellers already have an EU Responsible Person or Authorised Representative, and should not have to pay for a second one.

The landscape

The descriptions below summarise what each provider says about itself on its public website as of September 2026. They are not endorsements or audits, and features change — please verify directly.

Regonance

What it is: a multi-regulation compliance platform with managed services. Covers nine EU regulations — GPSR, the Digital Product Passport under ESPR, EmpCo, PPWR, EPR, CE marking, Right to Repair, REACH/SVHC and the Battery Regulation — mapped to 431 obligations. Findings are traced to their source article. Offers a self-serve platform (free for 3 products, paid tiers up to 5,000) and managed tiers from a €499 single-product scan to ongoing managed compliance.

Strength: breadth and depth — one workspace for every regulation that affects a product, with the option to have the team do the work.

Limits: Regonance does not act as your EU Responsible Person or Authorised Representative and does not issue certificates; representation comes from partner providers. If you need only one regulation handled, a specialist may be simpler.

Euverify

What it is: an EU and UK compliance platform with a strong GPSR offering. Its website describes an EU and UK Authorised Representative / Responsible Person service set up within 24 hours and included in all plans, a GPSR technical-file builder, a guided risk assessment, and ten-year document storage. It also lists CE/UKCA, cosmetics Responsible Person services, medical-device representation, GDPR Article 27 representation and EUDR, and describes EPR modules for packaging, batteries and WEEE as in development.

Strength: representation bundled with the software, and GPSR specialisation, plus coverage of adjacent regimes such as cosmetics and medical devices that general product-compliance tools often skip.

Consider: check which of the packaging, EPR, battery and green-claims obligations relevant to your products are live today.

EaseCert

What it is: a GPSR service offered for a one-time fee with no renewals or subscriptions, according to its website. The service includes what it calls GPSR certification, a risk assessment, technical-file preparation, a labelling and warnings review, traceability records and an EU Responsible Person service with a registered address in Germany.

Strength: simple, predictable pricing and a done-for-you model for GPSR.

Consider: the scope is GPSR-focused. Check how updates are handled after the one-time engagement, and note that GPSR itself does not define an official certificate — what authorities and marketplaces rely on is the underlying documentation and the Responsible Person.

EcoComply

What it is: an EPR registration and reporting service. Its website describes registration and reporting for packaging, WEEE, battery and textile EPR across EU countries and the UK, producer numbers obtained in three to four weeks, and published per-country pricing — around €2,000 per country per year for multi-stream EPR, and a packaging-focused PPWR offer at around €1,000 per country per year, with scheme contributions charged at cost.

Strength: deep per-country EPR execution and transparent per-country pricing.

Consider: the focus is EPR and packaging. You will still need to cover product safety, CE marking, green claims and chemicals elsewhere.

GPSR Compliance (gpsrcompliance.eu.com)

What it is: a cloud-based GPSR compliance tool that, according to its website, combines automated documentation with EU representative services, and offers a free trial.

Strength: GPSR software and representation from one provider.

Consider: GPSR-focused. Several providers use similar names — check that you are looking at the one you mean.

Traditional consultants

What they are: regulatory specialists, law-firm product-regulation practices and testing-house advisory teams, selling expertise by the day or project.

Strength: judgement on novel products, grey areas and disputes with authorities.

Limits: point-in-time, and costly to scale across a catalogue. Our comparison of the models goes into more detail.

Other options worth knowing

Beyond the providers above, you will find EU Responsible Person services that offer representation only, tools that focus specifically on supplier document collection — a different workflow from compliance assessment — marketplace-run programmes that collect compliance data at listing level, testing laboratories that offer compliance advice alongside testing, and national EPR schemes that handle registration in their own country. Each solves part of the problem well. None, on its own, replaces an overview of every regulation that affects your products — which is the question to keep asking as you compare.

Summary table

Provider	Focus	Representation offered	Pricing model (as published)
Regonance	9 EU regulations, 431 obligations; platform + managed	Via partners	Free tier, then monthly subscriptions; managed from €499
Euverify	GPSR, CE/UKCA, cosmetics, medical, more	Yes, included in plans	Subscription tiers
EaseCert	GPSR	Yes	One-time fee
EcoComply	EPR and packaging	Where required	Per country per year
gpsrcompliance.eu.com	GPSR	Yes	Trial, then subscription
Consultants	Bespoke	Sometimes	Day rate / project

What we'd recommend

Honest guidance, based on your situation:

Your only concern is GPSR, you sell a few simple products, and you need a Responsible Person: a GPSR specialist such as Euverify or EaseCert may be all you need.
You need EPR registrations in several countries, and that is the main gap: EcoComply has deep per-country expertise and published pricing.
Your problem is getting documents out of suppliers: some tools focus specifically on supplier document collection — a different workflow from compliance assessment, and worth pairing with whichever assessment approach you choose.
Your products fall under five or more regulations — electronics, batteries, toys, cosmetics packaging, textiles with sustainability claims — you need multi-regulation coverage. Regonance covers all nine in one workspace.
You want someone to handle everything: Regonance's managed services do the work in the same workspace, from a €499 scan to ongoing management.
Your product is genuinely novel, or you are in a dispute with an authority: talk to a specialist consultant or lawyer first.

It is also common, and sensible, to combine tools: a representation provider for your Responsible Person, a specialist EPR service for registrations, and a multi-regulation platform to keep everything in one view.

Red flags when evaluating any provider

Whichever shortlist you end up with, be cautious of:

Guarantees of compliance. No provider can guarantee that an authority will agree with every assessment. Serious providers describe what they check and cite why.
"Certificates" for products that have no certification scheme. For most consumer products, the manufacturer declares conformity. A document labelled "certificate" may be useful evidence, but it does not replace the technical file.
Coverage claims without detail. "Covers all EU regulations" should come with a list. Ask for the obligations behind each one.
No export. If you cannot download your documentation, you do not really own it — and under GPSR you must keep it available for ten years.
Representation you cannot separate. If you already have a Responsible Person, a bundle that forces a second one on you is wasted spend.
Pricing that only appears after a demo. Not always a problem, but it makes comparison harder and shifts negotiating power to the seller of the service.

How to run a fair trial

Most platforms offer a free tier or trial. Use it on a real product, not a demo:

Pick your hardest product — the one with a battery, or the one with sustainability claims, or the one sold in the most countries.
Add it to each shortlisted tool and compare what each one finds. The differences are the evaluation.
Check one finding in depth. Follow the citation to the regulation text. Does it say what the tool says it says?
Try an export. Download whatever documentation the tool produces and ask whether you could send it to an authority.
Time it. How long did it take to get from sign-up to a finding you trust?

Regonance's free plan covers three products across all nine regulations, with no card required, so a trial on your three hardest products costs nothing.

A note for agencies and consultancies

If you manage compliance for several client brands, the criteria shift. Per-client separation, white-label reporting, portfolio-level views of which clients are missing a Responsible Person or registration, and bulk import start to matter more than any single feature. Regonance's agency tier is built for that model; specialist tools are usually designed around one brand at a time.

What this comparison cannot tell you

Comparisons like this one are a starting point. They cannot tell you how responsive a provider's support team is, how accurate its findings are for your specific product category, or how it will handle the next regulation change. Those are the questions a trial and a reference call answer. Ask each shortlisted provider for a customer in your category, and ask that customer what went wrong and how it was fixed.

We will update this article as the market changes. If you represent one of the providers described and something here is out of date, contact us and we will correct it.

A practical shortlist process

List your regulations. Take the free compliance quiz to see which of the nine apply to your products.
List your gaps. Paste a listing into the GPSR checker, or add up to three products to a free workspace.
Match gaps to providers using the seven criteria above. Discard anything that does not cover your critical gaps.
Compare total cost, including representation and scheme fees, not just the software. The cost calculator compares self-serve, managed and consultant routes for your catalogue.
Ask each shortlisted provider the seven questions. The answers will tell you more than any comparison article, including this one.

Frequently asked questions

What should I look for in an EU compliance platform?+

Seven criteria: regulation coverage, obligation depth, source tracing of findings, audit-ready documentation, ongoing monitoring of rule changes, the option of managed services, and transparent pricing.

Which EU compliance platform covers the most regulations?+

Regonance covers nine EU regulations — GPSR, DPP under ESPR, EmpCo, PPWR, EPR, CE marking, Right to Repair, REACH/SVHC and the Battery Regulation — mapped to 431 obligations. Many specialist tools focus on one or two, such as GPSR or EPR.

Do I need a multi-regulation platform?+

Not always. If GPSR is your only concern, a GPSR specialist may be enough; if EPR registration is your main gap, a dedicated EPR service may suit you. Multi-regulation coverage matters when your products fall under five or more regulations.
