Additional information
The role of an EU Authorized Representative (also known as EC REP, CE REP, EU REP, or EAR) is defined by the EU MDR and IVDR. This entity, established within the European Union, accepts a written mandate from a non-EU manufacturer to perform specific tasks. Key responsibilities include ensuring devices meet regulatory requirements and acting as the primary liaison with European regulatory bodies. The relationship and delegated tasks are formalized through a mandate agreement, a copy of which must be provided to competent authorities upon request. This ensures clear accountability and facilitates regulatory oversight for devices entering the EU market.
