AF Pharma’s EU Authorized Representative (EC Rep) Services: Your Gateway to the European Medical Device Market
Entering the European market is a significant milestone for medical device manufacturers outside the EU. However, navigating the European Union’s regulatory framework requires careful attention to detail, especially when it comes to compliance with the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR). One crucial requirement for non-EU manufacturers is appointing an EU Authorized Representative (EC Rep). At AF Pharma, our EC Rep services are designed to simplify this complex process, ensuring a smooth path to EU market entry for medical device companies worldwide.
What is an EU Authorized Representative?
An EU Authorized Representative (EC Rep) is an appointed entity within the EU that represents non-EU medical device manufacturers to fulfill EU regulatory obligations. Acting as a liaison with the EU regulatory authorities, the EC Rep ensures compliance with MDR and IVDR, managing essential documentation, registration, and post-market requirements.
AF Pharma’s EC Rep services provide non-EU manufacturers with a trusted partner who understands the European regulatory landscape, offering essential support for compliance, communication, and successful market entry.
