What is an EU AR

EU Authorized Representative — What You Need to Know

Under EU MDR 2017/745 Article 11, every manufacturer established outside the European Union must appoint an EU Authorized Representative before placing a single medical device on the European market. This is a legal requirement with no exceptions — it applies to manufacturers from the USA, UK, China, Japan, India, Australia and every other non-EU country.

Your EU AR acts as your legal address in Europe. They handle EUDAMED registration on your behalf, communicate with Competent Authorities, and share legal responsibility for the safety and compliance of your devices. Without a registered EU AR, your products cannot be sold in any of the 27 EU member states.

How to appoint an EU AR — step by step

Sign the EU AR agreement

A formal contract between you and NordMDR AB defining responsibilities, liability and the products covered.
