COMMISSION NOTICE Guidelines on the application of the EU general product safety legislative framework by businesses · European Union

(27) Article 22 para 7, 9 and 11 of GPSR include specifications of certain DSA obligations, namely Articles 23 and 31 thereof, and therefore follow the scope of application of the latter. Pursuant to Article 19 (re Article 23 and more generally the obligations in section 3 of Chapter III DSA) and 29 DSA (re Article 31 and more generally the obligations in section 4 of Chapter III DSA), these obligations are in principle not applicable to providers of platforms that qualify as Micro and Small Enterprises (SMicE). However, both Articles 19(2) and 29(2) of the DSA include a derogation to this principle, such that a SMicE platform which is at the same time designated as VLOP/VLOSE is indeed subject to these obligations. The statement in the table therefore means that the specifications of the DSA obligations included in the GPSR applies to any platform provided by medium and large enterprises (as normally provided under Articles 19 and 29 of the DSA), as well as to any platform provided by a SMicE that is at the same time designated as VLOP/VLOSE, because in that case the exclusion from application of sections 3 and 4 of DSA does not apply.
