European Representation
WE CAN PROVIDE WITH THE NECESSARY HELP TO ENSURE YOU MEET THE REQUIREMENTS
FOR AUTHORISED REPRESENTATION IN THE EU.
Requirements for Authorised Representative
Most of the CE Marking Directives require the manufacturer to use an authorised representative in the EU.
Sometimes this Representative is the importer or sales agent or the EU Local Office.
Often non-European companies will sell direct through agents who are not able to tie in the company to the requirements of the Directives.
Atlantic Bridge Limited can take on this role.
We hold copies of your documentation as set out in the Directives and hold it available for the statutory authorities. As this is not a Sales Function there is no % taken of your sales just a flat annual fee for a number of products.
In many instances, e.g. Class 1 Medical Devices, your Authorised Representative is notified to the Competent Authority and has legal responsibilities under the Directives. The Authorised Representative may be required to counter-sign your Declaration of Conformity and or be part of your Quality Management Assessment.
Language
Sales to EU States must include certain documentation in the language of the user. By using Atlantic Bridge Limited and provided your mother tongue is English, you will not need further translation for the main controlled documentation.
For supplies to non-English speaking EU Countries, Atlantic Bridge Limited can provide translations as necessary.
Fees
We provide the service of Authorised Representative for a set annual charge for up to three different product families.
There is an initial set up charge for us to check the documents provided if we were not previously employed to help you to assemble them. If there are shortfalls discovered we would not be able to accept the role of Authorised Representative until such shortfalls were corrected. We can provide help to assist you to correct these shortfalls if necessary.
A Separate annual fee is chargeable where we have to be "Notified" to the statutory authority.
