A CE mark alone does not get your product into the EU
EU rules require a named contact inside the EU for regulated products. Follow your product along four checkpoints and switch the view to see what changes once that contact exists.

Questions we hear most often
All questions and answersWhat is an EU Authorized Representative?
A company established in the EU that a manufacturer outside the EU appoints by written mandate. The Authorized Representative keeps the technical documentation available for inspection, acts as the legal contact on the product and communicates with market surveillance authorities.
Do I need an EU Authorized Representative?
If you manufacture outside the EU and sell CE-marked products in Europe, Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 requires an economic operator established in the EU. For consumer products, the General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988 requires an EU-based Responsible Person since December 2024. Marketplaces such as Amazon and Zalando check for this before listing.
How fast can Representa become my Authorized Representative?
Within 24 to 48 hours after the signed mandate and your product portfolio have arrived. The Enrollment plan is designed for exactly this case.
What documents do you need from us?
Your product portfolio, the Declaration of Conformity and the technical file. We verify both at onboarding and, depending on the plan, every year.
What happens if my product is found non-compliant?
We respond to the authority, provide the documentation we hold and coordinate the next steps with you. Under GPSR, incidents are tracked and reported as required.
