Who needs an EU authorised representative?

Companies without an EU establishment that place regulated products on the EU market often need an EU authorised representative for many product categories. This applies especially to CE-marked products such as machinery, toys, medical devices and batteries.

What liability does ArtemLEX assume?

As EU authorised representative, ArtemLEX assumes the legal liability of the economic operator towards EU market surveillance authorities. This includes ensuring conformity, maintaining technical documentation and cooperating with authorities.

What is the difference between EU representative and importer?

The EU representative acts on behalf of the manufacturer and assumes their duties in the EU. The importer physically brings goods into the EU. ArtemLEX can take both roles.
