How It Works

You need a legal representative in Europe and the UK before marketing products there. An authorised representative, located in the EU or UK, acts as a liaison between the manufacturer based outside of the EU or UK and a national authority.

As your authorised representative, we provide you with our address, which must be clearly visible on the product, packaging, or in any accompanying documentation.

Besides providing our address, as your authorised representative we also provide the following services, as described in the relevant legislation:

Verify that the EU declaration of conformity or declaration of performance and technical documentation are present, if these documents are required.

Upon request, provide market authorities with the information necessary to demonstrate the conformity of a product.

Cooperate with and inform market surveillance authorities.

Authorised representative EU

With Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 coming into force, every business from outside the EU selling products directly or indirectly must have either an importer or an authorised representative located in the EU.

The authorised representative acts as a liaison between the manufacturer based outside of the EU and a national authority within the EU. The tasks of the economic operator, such as verifying that there is a technical file and declaration of conformity present, are determined by the Regulation.

Sell your product in Europe directly, online, or via a fulfilment service provider confidently. We will take care of the legal requirements and regulations enforced by the EU authorities.

With offices in both the EU (Umeå, Sweden, the Netherlands) and the UK (London, England), we can provide you with both addresses, so you can do business easily anywhere in the EU and/or UK.

Authorised representative UK

The UK also requires an economic operator located within the UK when selling products on the UK market. Manufacturers wishing to sell within the UK, but based outside the UK (including those based in the remaining 27 European countries), must have representation within the UK.

This is regulated in the market surveillance framework based on Decision EC 765/2008 and the EU Exit Regulations 2019 (such as 2019 No. 696, page 15).

The UK guidance on placing manufactured goods on the market in the UK states the following:

Great Britain does not recognise authorised representatives and responsible persons based in the EU. If you need to (or choose to) use an authorised representative or responsible person, they will need to be based in the UK for products being placed on the UK market.

GET STARTED

With offices in the EU and the UK, we can provide you with the addresses for both markets, so you can do business easily anywhere in the EU and/or UK.
