Standing when pasted with its name: mapped
What the file has to hold
- Technical file (GPSR, REACH, UK GPSR, UK REACH)
The technical documentation: design, drawings, bill of materials, the standards applied, the conformity assessment route, and the evidence that the requirements are met. Kept for the retention period the regime sets, typically ten years from the last unit placed on the market. - Risk assessment (GPSR, UK GPSR)
The documented hazard identification and risk assessment for the product across its lifecycle, updated when the design, the use or the field data changes. - Test reports (GPSR, UK GPSR, EPA TSCA, Prop 65)
Test reports from an accredited or accepted laboratory against the standards the technical file names, tied to the exact model and revision tested. - Labelling and instructions (5 of the 8 regimes, including GPSR, CLP, UK GPSR)
Markings on the product and packaging (conformity mark, identification, warnings, manufacturer and importer details) and the instructions and safety information in the language of the market. - Traceability records (GPSR, UK GPSR)
Batch, lot or serial identification on the product, the records that tie a unit to its production and supply chain, and UDI where the device rules require it. - Substance declarations (6 of the 8 regimes, including CLP, REACH, GB CLP)
Safety data sheets for mixtures and supplier material declarations for articles: the trail that shows what is in the product against the restricted lists. - Registrations (CLP, GB CLP)
Producer, establishment, device or product registrations in the databases the regime names (EUDAMED, EPREL, CPNP, the WEEE and battery registers, FDA registration and listing).
