Unlocking Market Access in Europe: The Role of an Economic Operator for Non-EU Manufacturers
nsure smooth EU market entry for non-EU manufacturers with Representa GmbH as your Economic Operator and GPSR compliance partner.
Expanding into the European market offers huge growth potential, but non-EU manufacturers face complex regulatory challenges. Stricter EU compliance regulations, including the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR – EU 2023/988), now require appointing an EU-based Economic Operator (EO) to sell products legally in Europe.
Representa GmbH provides full-service compliance solutions, acting as your trusted Economic Operator and EU Authorized Representative to ensure smooth, risk-free market entry.
What is an Economic Operator and Why You Need One
An Economic Operator serves as your official compliance partner in the EU, ensuring that your products meet all safety, labeling, and documentation requirements. Under EU law, non-EU manufacturers must appoint an EO to fulfill these obligations.
Key Responsibilities of an Economic Operator:
Legal representation within the EU.
Market surveillance and risk management, including handling recalls and technical documentation requests.
Product compliance support, including CE marking and adherence to EU safety directives.
Traceability and management of compliance documentation.
Liaison with consumers and regulatory authorities.
Without an EO, non-EU manufacturers risk market bans, fines, legal penalties, and loss of trust with European distributors and consumers.
