Edit a product's details and documents

Correct a product's details, reassess its Article 6 risk, and file its technical documentation and picture.

Updated 2 min read

Open a product from the Product registry tab to change what the register holds about it. Each change is written to the audit log. A withdrawn product is read-only.

Edit the details

  1. Open the product and choose Edit details from its More actions menu.
  2. Change what you need under Product information, Business information and Scope. Picking a different manufacturer clears a brand that doesn't belong to it.
  3. Click Save changes.

The product type and the scoping answers given at registration can't be changed. To revise the legislation that applies, use Edit legislation: see Make a declaration of conformity. An edit doesn't remake a composed declaration's PDF; submit the declaration again to file a copy that reflects it.

Reassess the risk

  1. Click Reassess beside Article 6 risk assessment, or Assess if none is recorded.
  2. Choose the Risk level, Low, Medium or High, the date it was Assessed on, and What the assessment found.
  3. Click Record assessment.

The GPSR sets no risk classes: Article 6 lists the aspects a safety assessment weighs, and the level is your own conclusion. It shows in the registry's Risk column and in the High-risk SKUs tile.

File the technical documentation

Article 9(2) requires an internal risk analysis and technical documentation before a product is placed on the market, and Article 9(3) requires the documentation to be kept for ten years after. Under Article 9(2) technical documentation, click Upload or Replace, choose a PDF or ZIP of up to 50 MB, add the date it was Compiled on if you want, and confirm.

The file is listed in Documents as Technical documentation, and a replacement keeps its link. Under Identification, Documentation kept until shows the date ten years after the product was placed on the market.

Add or replace the picture

A recall notice must show the product's picture (Article 36(2)(b)(i)). Under Product picture, click Upload or Replace and choose a JPEG, PNG or WebP of up to 5 MB. Remove deletes the picture once you confirm Remove picture, so upload a new one before you publish a recall notice for the product.
