Effective December 29, 2009 all machinery, Pressure Equipment, ATEX and Personal Protective Equipment manufacturers located outside the European Union are required to identify a 'person' or 'entity' established in the European Union who is authorized to keep the manufacturers technical file or have quick access to it. The Authorized Representative must have a written mandate (agreement) from the manufacturer before its name appears in the Declaration of Conformity along with the name and address of the manufacturer.
The term 'Authorized Representative' does not describe a sales and marketing function, it describes a CE compliance regulatory affairs function only.
Release of a credible technical file should not be taken lightly since it contains confidential and proprietary/design information. It is therefore of great importance to appoint an established and knowledgeable EU Authorized Representative firm in accordance with an EU legal agreement that includes confidentiality.
