Understanding Your Obligations

What Is an EU Authorised Representative?

An EU Authorised Representative is a formally appointed organisation located within the European Union that acts on behalf of a non-EU manufacturer. Under the Machinery Directive, the Authorised Representative may perform tasks defined by a signed mandate, including:

Holding the EC Declaration of Conformity and Technical File available for authorities

Cooperating with market-surveillance bodies

Providing documentation on request

Ensuring communication channels remain open between regulators and the manufacturer

Appointing an EU Authorised Representative shows importers and customers that your company is fully committed to safety and compliance, and is a legal requirement.
