GPSR Article 19 online listing requirements
Article 19 names four categories of information for online and other distance-sales product offers. This guide explains the exact scope used by MarketPilot’s readiness scanner.
Article 19 in four information groups
Article 19 applies when economic operators make products available on the market online or through other means of distance sales. The offer should clearly and visibly indicate at least the following categories:
| Article 19 | Information group |
|---|---|
| (a) | Manufacturer name / trade name / trademark, plus postal and electronic contact address. |
| (b) | If the manufacturer is outside the EU, EU Responsible Person name, postal address, and electronic address. |
| (c) | Information allowing product identification, including a picture, product type, and another product identifier. |
| (d) | Applicable warning or safety information required on the product, packaging, or accompanying document, in a language consumers can easily understand as determined by the Member State where it is made available. |
Why MarketPilot calls this “readiness”
A product page can expose evidence that these information groups are present, but a scanner cannot prove the full legal status of the product. For that reason, MarketPilot reports individual signals as detected, not detected, review, or not applicable instead of issuing a compliance certificate.
Article 19 is not the whole GPSR
The GPSR contains obligations beyond distance-sales listing information. The Commission’s guidance also distinguishes business roles such as manufacturer, importer, distributor, fulfilment service provider, responsible person, and online marketplace. Your obligations can depend on the role you perform for a particular product.
That is why a focused Article 19 scanner should be used to find visible listing gaps—not to replace product-specific legal analysis or safety work.
