Authorised Representative: Full Guide on Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 and How to Avoid Legal Pitfalls When Selling Products to the EU

What are potential legal pitfalls when I would not have an economic operator within the EU?

At this stage, when you, as non-European manufacturer, do not have an economic operator, you might be wondering what would happen if you did not appoint an Authorised Representative. 

What would be the consequences of this? 

The truth is, failing to appoint an authorised representative may cause a great deal of issues for your company. 

There are several checkpoints throughout the process of selling your product where it will be stalled if it does not have an address of an authorised representative associated with it. 

Here are the points along the way where your product will be checked: 

• If your product, machinery, device or equipment is shipped from outside of the EU and inspected by customs and it does not have an address of an economic operator, it will not be allowed to enter the EU. 
• If your ecommerce product is (drop) shipped from outside of the EU and inspected by customs and it does not have an address of an economic operator, it will not be allowed to enter the EU. 
• If it is not inspected by customs and it passes through, issues may arise when it gets to the Fulfilment Service Center. Marketplaces such as Amazon will check for the presence of an economic operator and if they don’t see an address, they will block the product. 
• Yet another checkpoint will arise when your product is added by the seller to Amazon, or any other marketplace. Or more and more regulated products, Amazon requires a declaration of conformity, a photo of the packaging, a user guide and other important information. If the information doesn’t include the address of a European economic operator, the product will not be listed.  
• Amazon (as well as any other marketplace) will regularly check their listed products to make sure the required address is there. If there is any doubt, they will request the address of the EO or AR. If you cannot supply it, they will take your products down. As with the (EU) 2019/1020 Regulation Fulfillment Centers will be seen as an economic operator en therefore will be responsible for certain tasks, most of them, if not all, will transfer the task to the seller who then needs to find an AR.
• If this happens, you will no longer be able to sell through Amazon FBA or other fulfillment centers, and you could possibly face issues with freight forwarders at some point. 

Even more important than the compliance issues this will cause, there’s also the safety risk you will be creating. If your product and technical file has not been checked by an Authorized Representative or any other compliance vendor on completeness and compliance with EU requirements, you might sell an unsafe product. 

For example, you might sell a toy that contains toxic chemicals, or an electrical product with a fault that can cause a fire. If this happens, you could be responsible and legally liable for the serious injury or even death of one of your customers. 

Plus, it’s important to know that each Member State of the EU has market surveillance authorities who check the internal market for compliance with the requirements. 

If they find out that you don’t have an authorised representative and don’t comply, you may be asked to do a recall of your product. Also, any products that are shipped in packaging without an EU Authorised Representative address can be seized and destroyed upon arrival. 

You’ll have to deal with the financial loss of these products, and you’ll also have to compensate your customers who were waiting on an order that was seized and destroyed.

Product being checked at customs: no visible address? Then the package may be opened.

I am a Fulfillment Service Centre: What happens if I don’t appoint an Authorised Representative?

As a fulfillment centre, you will be seen as an economic operator for the products that you sell. 

This means that you will have tasks such as verifying that the declaration of conformity and technical documentation have been drawn up, providing market authorities with all information and documentation necessary to demonstrate the conformity of a certain product and informing market surveillance authorities about products presenting a risk. 

As a result of this, Fulfillment Service Centres, such as Amazon, partner up with companies providing AR services.

Do I need an Authorised Representative when I sell products in the UK?

As mentioned, also the UK requires to have 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.

And although the UK is not going to implement Regulation (EU) 2019/1020, they will still apply a market surveillance framework based on Decision EC 765/2008 (the New Legislative Framework). 

The NLF requires importers that place goods on the UK market to be identified on the product or packaging. Until December 31st, 2022 you can also provide the contact details on any accompanying document, rather than on the good itself.

So the requirement to have a UK based point of contact has actually been in place for some time, but has been widely ignored in the UK until now. Customs changes due to Brexit have brought the requirement to identify an ‘economic operator’ who is established within the UK in the spotlight again. 

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 GB market.

The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) marking is the UK product marking that is used for goods being placed on the market in Great Britain

How to avoid legal pitfalls and keep selling products on the European market

When you are a non-EU business and you want to sell products that fall under the scope of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 on the European market, the only way to avoid legal pitfalls, is to have an importer or Authorised Representative within the EU. 

When you are a non-UK business and you want to sell products that fall under the scope of Decision EC 765/2008 on the UK market, the only way to avoid legal pitfalls, is to have an importer or Authorised Representative within the UK.  

For both scenario's, you should make sure to have the address of the importer or AR on the product, its packaging or an accompanying document.

What are the tasks of an authorised representative?

An Authorised Representative represents a non-European manufacturer and acts on its behalf in relation to ‘specified tasks’.

These tasks may differ, depending on the requirements that apply to the product. The tasks ogf the AR for several directives and regulations, including Regulation (EU) 2019/1020, are desribed in the below section.

An AR does not certify the products, but is responsible for reviewing the documentation provided by the manufacturer and optionally evaluating the certification procedures and safety of the products. 

Some of the tasks an Authorised Representative may be responsible for include:

• Communicating with the Market Surveillance Authorities on behalf of the non-EU company. 
• Verifying that the EU Declaration of Conformity or Declaration of Performance and technical documentation have been drawn up. (The Declaration of Conformity applies for CE products, such as toys, electrical equipment, machinery, medical devices, PPE, etc. The Declaration of Performance applies to Construction Products, according to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011)
• Carrying out a technical document review. 
• Performing conformity assessments. 
• Drawing up an authorised representative agreement and authorizing the non-EU company to use their address on their product packaging. 
• Registering the product with the appropriate competent authority. 
• Keeping a file of the product’s technical documents for potential inspection by EU regulators. 
• Providing all documentation necessary to demonstrate the conformity of the product, if the Market Surveillance Authority requests information. 
• Informing the Market Surveillance Authorities if the Authorised Representative has reason to believe that a product poses a risk. 
• Cooperating with the authorities in the event that enforcement action is mounted against them. 
• Performing any other tasks that are outlined in the written agreement between them and the manufacturer. 

The official tasks and responsibilities of your AR will be laid out in the contract you sign, so make sure you read it thoroughly and understand it before proceeding.

Example of a declaration of conformity to comply with the Low Voltage Directive

What do specific directives and regulations say about the AR? 

When it comes to authorised representatives, some particular industries will have more specific directives and regulations depending on the types of products sold. Let’s take a closer look into a few examples of these specific industries and what their regulations say.

Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 on market surveillance and compliance of products

Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 on market surveillance and compliance of products applies to all products listed in Annex I of the regulation. For an exact overview, see What Products Need an Authorised Representative?

However, if other directives and regulations regulate more specifically certain aspects of market surveillance and enforcement, these of course need to be taken into account.

So, without prejudice to any other obligations, the authorised representative, or other economic operator, must perform the following tasks: 

• if these documents are required verifying that the EU declaration of conformity or declaration of performance and technical documentation are present. 
• Providing market authorities with the information necessary to demonstrate the conformity of a product.
• Informing the surveillance authorities about product risks.
• Cooperate with the market surveillance authorities in case of non-compliance.

Toys (Toy Safety Directive)

Naturally, the children’s toy industry has a lot of safety regulations. This makes sense, as it’s important to make sure children aren’t playing with toys that are unsafe or could potentially cause harm. 

The Toy Directive is part of CE Regulations and the AR is mentioned as being a possible economic operator in the directive. 

A manufacturer may, by a written mandate, appoint an authorised representative. 

If so, the AR can have the following tasks:

• Keep the declaration of conformity and the technical documentation at the disposal of national surveillance authorities for a period of 10 years
• Provide national authorities with the information and documentation necessary to demonstrate the conformity of a toy
• Cooperate with the competent national authorities

The following obligations are not allowed to be done by an authorised representative according to the toy directive:

• Making sure that a toy has been designed and manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the toy directive.
• Drawing up the the technical documentation

Electrical Equipment (Low Voltage Directive, EMC, RoHS, RED) 

All electrical equipment sold on the European market should have an economic operator within the EU.

Electrical equipment can fall under the scope of several CE directives, such as the low voltage directive, EMC directive, RoHS directive and radio equipment directive. 

EMC directive

According to the EMC directive, the AR may have the same tasks and limitations as the toy directive (see Toys (Toy Safety Directive)). 

Additionally to these permitted tasks, the AR may affix the CE marking to each product that complies and can draw up the declaration of conformity.

If an AR has been mandated, the name of the AR shall be stated in the declaration of conformity.

Low voltage directive

Electrical equipment designed for use with a voltage rating of between 50 and 1 000 V for alternating current and between 75 and 1 500 V for direct current, falls under the low voltage directive. 

The tasks and limitations of the authorised representative are the same as those of EMC directive. To summarise, the AR can:

• Keep the declaration of conformity and the technical documentation for a period of 10 years
• Provide national authorities with the information necessary to demonstrate the conformity of a product
• Cooperate with the competent national authorities
• Affix the CE marking to each product that complies 
• Draw up the declaration of conformity.

The AR may not:

• Ensure that the product has been designed and manufactured in accordance with the safety objectives of the directive;
• Draw up the technical documentation.

Also for low voltage equipment: if an AR has been mandated, the name of the AR shall be stated in the declaration of conformity.

RoHS Directive

The RoHS Directive has a slightly different and broader way of formulating the tasks of the authorised representative.

First of all, manufacturers can appoint an authorised representative by written mandate, if they want.

The difference is, that the RoHS Directive specifically mentions that the mandate should describe the tasks that are appointed. The mandate shall allow the authorised representative to do at least the following:

• Maintain the DoC and the technical documentation for 10 years following the placing on the market of the EEE.
• Provide an authority with all the information necessary to demonstrate compliance.
• Cooperate with the competent national authorities.

The AR may not conduct the following:

• Drawing up of technical documentation;
• Ensure that the electrical equipment has been designed and manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the directive

Radio equipment

Equipment containing radio emitting components, such as WiFi, Bluetooth, Infra Red or GPS modules, must comply with the RED. 

The tasks and limitations of the AR are identical to those of the RoHS directive. 

If a Notified Body has been involved, the identification number of the notified body may be affixed by the authorised representative.

The AR may also lodge an application for the conformity assessment procedure. In that case, the application must include his name and address as well and he shall be notified of the decision of the NoBo and the name of the AR shall be stated in the declaration of conformity.

This product mentions just the name of the importer on the product itself. As the address is missing, the product is not compliant, unless the address is mentioned on the packaging.

WEEE Directive

The WEEE Directive is not part of the CE regulations and directives. However, it defines further tasks for the authorise represenative. 

It states that all sellers of electronic products must be registered in the member state that they sell. This registration must be done through their authorised representative. This can can done through the online national registers of each member state.

Cosmetics

Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 on cosmetic products uses 'responsible person' instead of authorised representative. Only cosmetic products for which a legal or natural RP within the EU is designated are allowed to be sold on the European market.

The responsible person must ensure compliance with the relevant obligations set out in the regulation and is fully responsible for the product.

The tasks of the responsible person are, amongst others:

• Ensure compliance with the relevant obligations set out in regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.
• Providing the SCCS with information on the product.
• Respond to requests form consumers to receive certain product-related information needed to make informed product choices.
• Providing competent authorities with a list of cosmetic products containing substances which have raised serious doubts in terms of safety.
• Making sure that the required information on the product is available for market authorities.
• Cooperate with these authorities upon their request on any action to eliminate the risks posed by cosmetic products which they have made available on the market.
• When there is a reason to believe that a product which they have placed on the market is not in conformity, the RP shall make sure to bring that product into conformity, withdraw it or recall it, as appropriate.
• Where the cosmetic product presents a risk to human health, the RP shall inform the competent national authorities.
• Identify the distributors to whom the cosmetic product is supplied.
• To make sure that the cosmetic product has undergone a safety assessment and that a cosmetic product safety report is set up in accordance with Annex I of the regulation. 

Personal Protective Equipment

According to the PPE Regulation, the AR must do the tasks as specified in the written mandate received from the manufacturer. This should be at least keeping the EU declaration of conformity (DoC) and the technical documentation at the disposal of the national market surveillance authorities for 10 years after the PPE has been placed on the market, providing authorities with all the information and documentation necessary to demonstrate the conformity of the PPE and cooperating with the competent national authorities.

The CE marking and the identification number of the notified body by be affixed by the authorised representative, if not done by the NoBo body itself or by the manufacturer.

Besides keeping the DoC, the AR may also draw up the declaration of conformity.

Machinery

The machinery directive starts with mentioning that the authorised representative should receive a written mandate from the manufacturer to ‘perform on his behalf all or part of the obligations and formalities connected with the machinery directive.’

The AR may be appointed to do the following: 

• Make sure that the technical file is available;
• Provide the necessary information, such as instructions;
• Make sure that the risk assessment has been conducted.

And optionally also:

• Make sure that the machinery meets the relevant essential health and safety requirements;
• Carry out the appropriate conformity assessment procedures; 
• Draft the declaration of conformity and make sure that is included with the machinery;
• Affix the CE marking;

Medical Equipment

The medical device regulation regulates tasks and responsibilities of AR’s most strictly. Here they can be responsible and held liable for defective devices.

For manufacturers of medical devices from outside the EU, the requirement to have an AR within the EU, already was obligatory. The AR plays an essential role in ensuring the compliance of the devices produced by those manufacturers and in serving as their contact person established in the EU.

The regulation clearly states that the authorised representative is legally liable for defective devices when a manufacturer established outside the EU has not ensured compliance. Together with the importer and the manufacturer, the authorised representative is jointly and severally liable. 

The manufacturer from outside the EU must make sure that the AR has the necessary documentation permanently available.

Only when the manufacturer from outside designates a sole authorised representative, the device may be placed on the European market. 

The AR must be officially mandated by the AR, who must accept the mandate in writing. The AR must perform all tasks specified in the mandate. A copy of the mandate must be provided to the authority, upon request. 

As a minimum, the following tasks shall be appointed to the AR: 

• Verify that the EU declaration of conformity and technical documentation have been drawn up;
• Verify that an appropriate conformity assessment procedure has been carried out by the manufacturer; 
• Keep a copy of the technical documentation, the declaration of conformity and, if applicable, a copy of the relevant certificate, available; 
• Comply with the registration obligations;
• Provide competent authorities with all the information and documentation necessary to demonstrate the conformity of a device;
• Forward to the manufacturer any request by a competent authority for samples, or access to a device and verify that the competent authority receives the samples or is given access to the device; 
• Cooperate with the competent authorities on any preventive or corrective action taken to eliminate or, if that is not possible, mitigate the risks posed by devices; 
• Inform the manufacturer about complaints and reports from healthcare professionals, patients and users about suspected incidents related to a device for which they have been designated; 
• Terminate the mandate if the manufacturer acts contrary to its obligations. When terminated, the AR must shall immediately inform the competent authority of the Member State.

When there is a change of authorised representative this must be clearly defined in an agreement between the manufacturer, the outgoing authorised representative (if pzracticable) and the incoming authorised representative.

Construction products

Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 for the marketing of construction products allows the appointment of an authorised representative (by written mandate) for at least the following tasks:

• Keep the declaration of performance and the technical documentation for 10 years.
• Provide the market surveillance authority with all the information required to demonstrate the conformity of the construction product with the declaration of performance and compliance with other applicable requirements in the construction products regulation
• Upon request, cooperate with the competent national authorities.

The AR is not allowed to draw up the technical documentation.

Article 43 states that a notified body carrying out the conformity assessment can never have the role of the authorised representative.

Also, the regulation on construction products contains a draft for the declaration of conformity where the authorised representative should be indicated. 

REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 

REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals.

REACH applies to all chemical substances, such as those used in industrial processes, but also those in our day-to-day lives (e.g. in clothes, paint, cleaning products, furniture etc. Therefore, the regulation has an impact on most companies selling products on the European Market.

Also products that fall under the scope of REACH need to comply with Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 and thus need an authorised representative.

The REACH Regulation states the following:

In addition, if the supplier is not located in the Member State where the substance or mixture is placed on the market and he has nominated a responsible person for that Member State, a full address and telephone number for that responsible person shall be given.

The REACH Regulations mentions the 'Only Respresentative'.  The Only Respresentative is a natural or legal person established in the EU appointed by the non-European manufacturer (who manufacturs regulated substances, mixtures or articles) to fulfil the obligations on importers under the REACH Regulation. 

Is an Authorised Representative legally responsible for defective products?

If your product is defective, who is legally responsible?  

The answer to this depends on the directive and the particular industry you are in. 

For example, according to most CE Regulations and Directives, such as the Toy Safety Directive, the Low Voltage Directive and the EMC Directive, the Authorised Representative is not liable. 

In most cases, the manufacturer is responsible and liable for the product. When the product is being imported, the importer plays a key role guaranteeing the compliance of imported products. 

Particularly when an importer (or a distributor) markets a product under its own name, they take over the manufacturer’s responsibilities and are liable for defective products. 

In some cases, also the Authorised Representative is liable. 

For example, according to Regulation (EU) 2017/745 on Medical Devices, the AR is liable for defective devices in the event that a manufacturer from outside the EU has not complied with its general obligations.

In the Medical Device industry, the AR must terminate the contract with the manufacturer if the manufacturer has not complied with their obligations. The authorised representative is jointly and severally liable with the importer and the manufacturer.

So, it’s worth taking some time to research your particular industry to find out whether or not the Authorised Representative will be the one liable if your products are faulty or defective. 

 
For medical devices, an AR is liable for defective products and non-compliance

Can I use my distributor as my Authorised Representative?

If you already have a distributor, it is possible to use them as your authorised representative? Are there any issues with this?

It is possible to use your distributor as your authorised representative, and you might be tempted to save money by doing so. Companies that sell Class I devices who only intend to sell in a few countries with a single distributor could save on the cost of appointing an AR. 

However, there are some things you should consider before you decide to do so.  

Here are some of the downsides of using your distributor as your authorised representative:

• Your distributor’s name and address will need to be printed on all of your packaging. So, if you decide to change distributors, you’ll need to reprint all labels, packaging and manuals. Plus, you’ll need to figure out what to do about the products already on the market that have your old distributor’s name on them. 
• Since a distributor is focused on the sale and marketing of your devices (rather than regulations), they may not necessarily keep abreast of any changes in European laws and guidelines and adjust accordingly. 
• Your distributor will have access to your Technical File, which includes proprietary information. 
• If the Market Authorities happen to question an incident concerning one of your products, can you be sure that they will defend your company? Or, will they protect their own interests? 

Since the annual cost of an Authorised Representative is usually only around $3,500, it may not be worth the risks and downfalls of using your distributor to cover this role.

5 Steps To Choosing a European Authorised Representative

How can you find an Authorised Representative? There are several different companies available offering this service in the EU. The key is to find the right company for you and make sure the service they offer is the right fit for your business. 

When it comes to choosing an Authorised Representative, the process can be broken down into five simple steps. 

Step #1: Find an AR

Compare a few different options, as every AR will provide slightly different services and will charge different fees. Many will offer to custom-tailor a contract for you, so you can find a representative who will meet your needs. 

It’s a good idea to look for an AR who has experience with a wide range of products and devices. They may not have expert knowledge of the product you are selling, but they will be able to help guide you through the regulations and requirements that apply to your device. 

You should also look for an Authorised Representative who has been around for a few years. This means they are less likely to go out of business and you won’t have to pay to reprint all of your packaging. 

Also, a company with several years of experience in the business will have stronger connections and relationships with Competent Authorities, which could potentially work to your advantage if any problems arise. 

Step #2: Send a Declaration of Conformity and a Technical File to the AR

The next step is to prepare the required paperwork and send it to your AR. You’ll need to send the Technical File and a Declaration of Conformity, plus any other paperwork that might be required depending on your industry. 

Your AR can let you know the specifics of what is required. For example, if you are in the medical device industry, your AR will need to verify that you are complying with the registration of the Unique Device Identification, according to article 27. Also, they will need to check that the registration of the device has been performed according to article 29. 

Step #3: The AR Verifies that DoC and Technical File Have Been Drawn Up

During the next step, the AR will verify that the DoC and the Technical File have been drawn up. If they require any extra info from you during this stage, they will let you know. 

The AR will keep the documentation on file for the amount of time required by your particular industry. For example, for medical devices the files must be kept for at least 10 years and for implantable devices, it is 15 years. 

If you are working with an Authorised Representative who works with multiple clients, make sure they have a clear and organised system for Record Retention. This will help make sure that they are not at risk of losing any information, or providing the wrong version of documents. 

Some Authorised Representatives will offer you to conduct a gap analysis as well to check if the sent technical file is not only present, but also is complete, authentic and complies with the requirements. 

Step #4: Sign AR Agreement

The next step is to sign an agreement with your Authorised Representative. The contract will outline exactly what the authorised representative will be responsible for and what you need to do to uphold your compliance. 

Step #5: Use the Address of the AR On Product Packaging

Finally, the address of the AR must be displayed on all your product packaging, product label or any other accompanying document. It should include the manufacturer’s name and address and the name and address of the European Authorised Representative. 

The “label” is defined as either the packaging of each unit or the packaging of multiple devices. 

You’ll also need to include the CE Marking and the country where the product is produced. The product packaging must include user instructions and safety instructions, or it must indicate that these instructions are present within the packaging. 

You may also need to add a warning logo if the product is not suited for children younger than a certain age, as well as other information such as whether the package is recyclable or should not be disposed of with the domestic waste. Keep in mind that there may be other requirements for specific products, depending on the applicable directives.
