The Market Surveillance Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 states that sellers based outside the EU selling certain products directly to consumers in the European Union must have an authorised representative. This authorised representative must based in the EU, and manage certain tasks within the market.

Previously, this primarily affected companies selling electronics, toys, PPE, and other products requiring CE marking. However, the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) extends these requirements to virtually all consumer products sold to consumers in the EU by companies established outside the EU.

In this guide, we list companies offering EU authorised representative services for products covered by the Market Surveillance Regulation and the General Product Safety Regulation.

      1. Sophie at 7:21 pm

        Hi.

        Great article.

        One thing never mentioned in articles regarding the GSPR is “who” can become a Responsible Person (RP)?

        For example, can a company with in-depth IT knowledge situated in the EU become a RP and start a business to manage the process of creating/handling documentation for clients? The GSPR seems to be a very technically involved area and I was wondering if it would be a good career move? How does one “apply” to become a RP? Who decides?

        Advice appreciated.

        Dear Chuiyan,

      3. Katherine at 4:22 am

        Dear Chuiyan,
        Very interesting article, thank you!
        I have a question link to the AR. I am thinking to register a trading company in Luxembourg and distribute packaging machines to Europe, if the Chinese manufacturer agreed, can i be there AR? Do you know is there any specific requirements on my side or not?
        Thanks in advance for your reply.
        Katherine
