Frequently asked questions about TGA Registration
Manufacturers based outside the EU are legally obliged to appoint an Authorized Representative (EC REP) so that their products can legally circulate within the European Union market.
Regardless of whether a medical device requires the intervention of a Notified Body (in the case of Class I sterile/measuring/reusable, IIa, IIb and III) to obtain CE Marking, or whether the manufacturer can self-certify (Class I simple), those operating outside the EU must appoint an Authorized Representative so that their products can be placed on the European market.
The Authorized Representative plays a crucial role in ensuring device compliance, acting as the point of contact within the Union. The Authorized Representative’s minimum responsibilities include:
● Verifying that the technical documentation and other essential documents have been prepared and that the manufacturer has fulfilled its registration obligations.
● Providing the competent authority with all information and documentation necessary to demonstrate the conformity of a device.
● Transmit to the manufacturer any request from the competent authority to obtain samples of the device.
● Collaborate with the competent authorities in any preventive or corrective actions aimed at eliminating or mitigating risks that devices may present.
● Immediately inform the manufacturer of complaints and reports from healthcare professionals, patients and users about possible incidents related to a device for which they have been designated.
The European Authorized Representative (EC-REP or EAR) shares responsibility in case of defective products and is obliged to terminate the contract with the manufacturer if the manufacturer acts inconsistently with its obligations. Therefore, the EAR is responsible for defective products when the manufacturer has not fulfilled its obligations under the Medical Device Regulation (MDR).
Yes. Any manufacturer that is established outside the European Union is required to appoint an Authorized Representative (EC REP) based in the EU.
This requirement is essential for placing medical devices or IVDs on the market in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR) and Regulation (EU) 2017/746 (IVDR).
Without a designated EC REP, it is not legally possible to access the European market.
Not always. In some cases, an importer or distributor can be designated as the Authorized Representative, but this must be done formally and in full compliance with legal requirements.
However, this practice may lead to conflicts of interest.
Therefore, it is recommended to choose an independent EC REP with expertise in regulatory compliance.
Yes. The name and address of the Authorized Representative must appear on the product labeling, the outer packaging, or the Instructions for Use (IFU).
In addition, the official EC REP symbol, as specified in ISO 15223-1, must be included.
This information must be clear, visible, and legible to meet the requirements of the MDR and IVDR.
Yes. It is possible to change your Authorized Representative at any time.
The current and new EC REPs must coordinate the transfer of responsibilities to maintain regulatory compliance.
The manufacturer must also update the labeling, technical documentation, and EUDAMED records, if applicable.
For medical devices and in-vitro diagnostic devices, EU Regulations (MDR and IVDR) mandate that non-EU manufacturers appoint an authorized representative based in the EU. This representative is crucial for ensuring compliance and acts as a primary contact point within the EU.

Our headquarters, located in Spain, places us strategically to work closely with EU institutions. We are actively involved in European Commission Working Groups and Horizon Europe, the EU’s research and innovation program, shaping the compliance landscape over the years.
