The manufacturer may be based in- or outside the European Union. In either case, the manufacturer may appoint an Authorized Representative in the European Union to act on his behalf in carrying out certain tasks required in the applicable Directives.
As described in the CE marking Directives, the appointed Authorized Representative established in the European Union must be able to act on behalf of the manufacturer.
The delegation of tasks from the manufacturer to the Authorized Representative must be explicit and should take place in writing, in particular to define and to refrain the contents of the tasks and the limits of the representative.
Depending on the conformity assessment procedure and the Directive in question, the European Authorized Representative can, for instance, be appointed to ensure and declare that the product complies with the requirements, to affix the CE marking, to draw up and sign the EC declaration of conformity, or to keep the declaration and the technical documentation at the disposal of national surveillance authorities.
