    It is required by the EEA legislation that a non-EEA manufacturer must print its EEA/EU Authorised Representative´s name, address & contacting details on the packaging/labeling of the product(s) sold onto the EEA (EU & EFTA) market. The authorities from any of the 28+3 EEA (EU & EFTA) Member States may call the Authorized Representative up for CE Marking vigilance at any time and the Authorized Representative must respond immediately and properly within the permitted time.

    Why must the manufactures of medical devices designate a EU Authorized Representative?

    The European Union's 'New Approach Directives' are mandatory on all member countries to enact through national legislation. This legislation requires manufacturers to display Marking on their products, packaging and accompanying literature. Where a new approach directive is in force, it is (with few exceptions) "an offense to place a product on the market without Marking". The manufacturer is legally responsible for ensuring that the product confirms to the requirements of the directive and for applying Marking.

    For medical devices, it is compulsory, under the Medical Devices Directive which became effective on 14/Jun/1998, that the manufacturer designate an Authorized Representative which has to be located in European Union member states to produce Technical Documentation (or sometimes called Technical File) in a timely fashion when called upon to do so by the Surveillance Authorities.


    The European Economic Area (EEA):

    The EEA includes EU countries and also Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. It allows them to be part of the EEA single market.

    Switzerland is neither an EU nor EEA member but is part of the single market.
