EU Authorised Representative for Medical Devices and IVDs

MDR AND IVDR REPRESENTATION IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

A manufacturer established outside the European Union must designate a sole EU Authorised Representative before placing a medical device or IVD on the Union market. MEDAGENT acts as your mandated EU contact and supports the documentation, registration, authority communication and post-market coordination that come with the role.

Why the role is required?

Article 11 of the MDR and IVDR requires a written mandate between the non-EU manufacturer and an authorised representative established in the Union. The mandate must cover at least all devices in the same generic device group and specify the representative tasks.

The authorised representative is more than a forwarding address. It verifies defined compliance documents, keeps information available for competent authorities, supports registration and cooperates on preventive or corrective action.

What MEDAGENT supports

  • Establish and maintain the written authorised-representative mandate.
  • Verify that the EU Declaration of Conformity and technical documentation have been drawn up.
  • Support economic-operator registration and relevant EUDAMED activities.
  • Keep required documentation available for competent authorities.
  • Coordinate authority, healthcare-professional and user communications.
  • Support vigilance, post-market and corrective-action communication within the agreed role.

Frequently asked questions

Who needs an EU Authorised Representative?

Manufacturers not established in an EU Member State need a sole authorised representative before placing covered devices on the Union market.

Is this the same as a UK Responsible Person?

No. The EU and Great Britain have separate regulatory systems and local roles.

Can we appoint more than one EU Authorised Representative?

A manufacturer may use different representatives for different generic device groups, but should designate only one representative for a particular generic device group.

Does the authorised representative have legal exposure?

The MDR and IVDR assign significant responsibilities and potential liability to the role. The mandate, insurance and service scope should therefore be reviewed carefully before appointment.

Regulatory depth behind the mandate

MEDAGENT combines authorised-representative support with broader experience in regulatory affairs, quality management and audits. The company reports more than 200 audits conducted each year, giving its team a practical view of how technical documentation and quality-system decisions are examined in regulated environments.

That wider perspective helps keep the mandate connected to the manufacturer’s real compliance work rather than treating representation as an isolated administrative task.
