What is a European Authorized Representative?
A European Authorized Representative (EU AR) is a natural or legal person established within the European Union who has received a written mandate from a non-EU manufacturer to act on their behalf for regulatory purposes.
The EU AR ensures that the manufacturer complies with applicable EU regulations, including MDR and IVDR. This includes verifying documentation, maintaining regulatory records, and acting as the official contact point for competent authorities.
For non-EU manufacturers, the European Authorized Representative service is essential to legally place products on the EU market and maintain ongoing compliance.
