Your EU Responsible Person and EPR partner in Spain

In most cases, yes. Since 13 December 2024, the General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988 says a product covered by it may only be placed on the EU market if there is an economic operator established in the EU responsible for it: the manufacturer, an importer, an authorised representative or a fulfilment service provider. If you manufacture outside the EU and sell directly to EU consumers, you usually need to appoint one. Its name, postal and electronic address must appear on the product, its packaging, the parcel or an accompanying document, and online listings must show it too.

Yes, but they are different obligations. GPSR is an EU-wide product safety rule that requires an EU-established economic operator. EPR (extended producer responsibility) is national: each country, and each stream such as packaging, electrical equipment (WEEE) or batteries, has its own registration, reporting and fees to a collective scheme. IberTrust Global handles the GPSR Responsible Person role and Spanish EPR registrations for packaging, WEEE and batteries, plus cosmetics CPNP, so you deal with one contact and one set of product data.

We work in English, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese. You can send documents, labels and questions in any of the three. Spanish authorities and collective schemes generally work in Spanish, so we handle that side and explain the outcome to you in your language. Labels and instructions must follow the language rules of each country where the product is sold.

Usually yes. Under the EU Batteries Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, whose extended producer responsibility rules apply since 18 August 2025, batteries incorporated in appliances are covered. If you sell headphones, toys, power banks, smart devices or e-bikes to end users in Spain from another country, you are normally the producer of those batteries there, with registration, collection-scheme and reporting duties on top of the WEEE duties for the device itself. Non-established distance sellers generally act through an authorised representative.

Yes. Under Spain's Royal Decree 110/2015, anyone who sells electrical or electronic equipment at a distance directly to households or professional users in Spain from another country is the producer and must be registered in the RII-AEE producer register, normally through an authorised representative. The European Parliament position adopted on 20 October 2026 keeps the authorised-representative duty for WEEE and keeps it strictly for non-EU producers; the proposed relief only targets small EU-based companies and is not final law.
