# What are the obligations of the EU Responsible Person?

*Responsible Person*

Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 makes the RP responsible for compliance with the main obligations of the regulation: product safety, good manufacturing practice, the safety assessment, the Product Information File, sampling and analysis, the CPNP notification, restrictions on substances, animal testing rules, labelling, claims, information to the public, serious undesirable effects and information on substances.

The RP must also take corrective action when a product does not comply and cooperate with the authorities.
