1. How an Authorised Representative (AR) works

Step 1: Initial Assessment
The AR begins by identifying the specific compliance requirements for your products based on EU regulations such as Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 or the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR).

• What You Get: A tailored compliance roadmap outlining the necessary steps for market entry.

Step 2: Documentation Verification
Your AR ensures that the Declaration of Conformity (DoC), technical files, and product labeling meet all EU standards. This includes CE marking documentation for applicable products.

• Key Deliverables: Fully verified compliance documents, ready for regulatory review.

Step 3: Acting as Your Local Contact
As your EU-based representative, the AR serves as the official liaison for regulatory authorities. They manage inspections, inquiries, and documentation requests on your behalf.

• Benefits: Streamlined communication with EU regulators, reducing delays and confusion.

Step 4: Labeling and Packaging Compliance
The AR ensures that your products’ labeling and packaging meet EU requirements, including displaying the AR’s contact details as mandated by EU law.

• Result: Legally compliant products ready for distribution.

Step 5: Post-Market Surveillance
Even after your products enter the EU market, the AR continues to monitorcompliance, assisting with recalls, corrective actions, or updates todocumentation as needed.

• Why It’s Important: Ensures long-term compliance and reduces the risk of fines or penalties.
