Your EU partner for CE marking, certification & compliance
Marketplace compliance for Amazon & EU online sales
EU marketplaces increasingly check for CE marking evidence, manufacturer and responsible party information, and required warnings before a listing can go live or stay live.
What marketplaces expect
Amazon and other EU marketplaces increasingly require sellers to confirm CE marking status, upload supporting documentation, and provide manufacturer and EU contact information per storefront. Listings that cannot demonstrate this risk suspension, and products found non-compliant during market surveillance checks risk removal and account-level consequences.
Typical trigger points
- Amazon requesting a Declaration of Conformity or test reports before a listing goes live
- A product category flagged for additional compliance information (electronics, PPE, children's products)
- Existing EU sales without organised technical documentation behind them
- Expansion into new EU marketplaces or Member States surfacing gaps in existing paperwork

If your product is a general consumer product not covered by CE-marking legislation, marketplaces and EU law may instead require a Responsible Person under the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) - see getGPSR.eu for that specific service.
