Find an EU Authorized Representative
Manufacturers outside the EU placing regulated products or services on the EU market are typically required to appoint an EU-based Authorized Representative. Filter this directory by country and regulation, or describe your situation and reach several matching representatives at once.
One representative, several regulations
If your product falls under more than one regulation that requires an EU representative — for example a connected medical device (MDR + GDPR) or a consumer product sold online (GPSR + DSA) — you don't necessarily need a separate representative for each. Several listed providers explicitly cover multiple regulations for the same client, which keeps a single point of contact instead of coordinating separate agreements.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need a different Authorized Representative for each regulation?
- No, not necessarily. Many listed providers act as Authorized Representative under several regulations at once — MDR/IVDR, GDPR Article 27, GPSR, REACH — for the same manufacturer. Using one provider across regulations is usually simpler than coordinating separate contracts, but the provider must be willing and able to take on each specific role.
- Is an EU Authorized Representative the same for every regulation?
- No. "Authorized Representative" is a role defined separately in each regulation — MDR/IVDR Article 11, GDPR Article 27, GPSR Article 16 — with different obligations and different liability exposure. A provider covering one does not automatically cover the others; check what each listing actually offers.
- What does an Authorized Representative actually do?
- Acts as your EU-based legal point of contact for market surveillance authorities, keeps required documentation available on request, and in most regulations can be held liable alongside you for non-compliance. It is a legal role, not just a mailing address.
- How does this directory help me choose?
- Filter by country and regulation covered directly — every listing shows real contact details, no account required. Describe your situation once and reach several matching representatives instead of researching and contacting each independently.
