Quick diagnostic

Do you need an EU Authorised Representative?

Start here if you manufacture medical devices outside the EU and plan to sell through importers, distributors, marketplaces or direct B2B channels in Europe.

01

Are you outside the EU?

Manufacturers without an EU establishment must designate an authorised representative for devices placed on the EU market.

02

Is your product a medical device?

The intended purpose, claims, technical function and classification determine the MDR route and documentation expectations.

03

Is your documentation ready?

Before appointment, Conregia reviews the device scope, MDR documentation and EUDAMED-related data requirements.

MDR Article 11 support with a structured mandate

Conregia supports eligible non-EU manufacturers with a mandate-based EU Authorised Representative setup. The service is designed for companies that need a reliable regulatory contact, practical documentation review and clear communication with EU market actors.

  • Review of manufacturer role, device scope and MDR route
  • Preparation and acceptance of a written EU-Rep mandate
  • Verification that required declarations and technical documentation are available
  • Competent-authority communication according to the mandate
  • Forwarding of complaints, reports and vigilance-related information
  • Coordination with importers, distributors and notified bodies where relevant
EUDAMED and SRN

Prepare actor registration and device data before market launch

EUDAMED is now a practical part of EU market access. As of 28 May 2026, the first four EUDAMED modules became mandatory to use, including Actor registration and UDI/Device registration.

Actor data

SRN readiness

Conregia helps coordinate manufacturer, EU-Rep and supply-chain actor information for EUDAMED registration consistency.

Mandate scope

EU-Rep alignment

The represented device scope, mandate wording and actor information should match before EUDAMED-related submissions are finalised.

Device data

UDI and registration checks

We support practical checks for device registration data, labelling references, UDI information and documentation consistency.

Documentation readiness

What we review before appointment

A strong EU-Rep relationship starts with transparent documentation. Conregia reviews whether the device file is ready for a mandate or whether critical gaps need to be closed first.

Device scope

Classification and intended purpose

Device type, intended use, claims, classification rationale, applicable MDR rules and notified-body involvement.

Core file

Technical and conformity documentation

EU Declaration of Conformity, technical documentation, GSPR checklist, labels, IFU, certificates and manufacturer details.

Post-market

Clinical, PMS and vigilance readiness

Clinical evaluation, risk management, post-market surveillance, complaint handling and incident reporting processes.

Documentation-first onboarding

This approach protects both the manufacturer and the EU-Rep by clarifying the regulatory baseline before the mandate is accepted.

Process

Your route to EU-Rep appointment

Conregia keeps the process structured, commercial and manageable for international medical device manufacturers.

01

Initial product review

We review the device description, intended purpose, classification, manufacturer details and target EU market route.

02

Document and EUDAMED check

We assess the available MDR file, mandate scope, EUDAMED actor data and device-registration readiness.

03

Mandate and ongoing support

After successful review, the mandate is finalised and Conregia acts as the agreed EU regulatory contact.

FAQ

Medical device EU-Rep questions

Who needs an EU Authorised Representative under the MDR?

Manufacturers not established in an EU Member State need an authorised representative before placing medical devices on the Union market. The appointment must be accepted in writing and must cover the relevant device scope.

What does an EU-Rep do under MDR Article 11?

The authorised representative performs the tasks specified in the mandate. This includes keeping certain documents available, supporting authority communication and forwarding relevant requests, complaints and reports to the manufacturer.

Does Conregia replace the manufacturer’s MDR obligations?

No. The manufacturer remains responsible for device conformity, technical documentation, clinical evaluation, PMS, vigilance, QMS and conformity assessment where required. The EU-Rep role is defined by the MDR and the written mandate.

Can Conregia support EUDAMED and SRN preparation?

Yes. Conregia can support actor-data coordination, SRN readiness, mandate consistency checks and practical alignment between EUDAMED information, device scope and supply-chain communication.

Can Conregia act for all medical device types?

Each request must be reviewed first. The possible mandate depends on device type, risk class, documentation maturity, conformity assessment route and whether the manufacturer can maintain the required MDR obligations.
