Are you a non-European
Manufacturer and need to export your Medical Device in Europe?
According to MDR (EU) 2017/745 and IVDR (EU) 2017/746 Regulations and starting from May 26, 2021 if your Company doesn’t have a physical location in Europe, you must appoint a European Authorised Representative.
An European Authorised
Representative must be a physical or legal person established in one of the EU
Countries, that is expressly designated by the Manufacturer and contact
reference of the Competent national Authorities on behalf of the Manufacturer.

severally with, the Manufacturer in case the latter acts not in compliance with
the obligations stated by the regulations (Art. 10). The EU Rep contact details appear on the
