Why You Need an Authorised Representative for Motor Vehicles
Legal background
Under Regulation (EU) 2018/858, manufacturers outside the EU must appoint an Authorised Representative to fulfil essential obligations. This includes maintaining regulatory compliance, managing documentation, supporting risk management efforts, and responding promptly to Competent Authorities. Without a designated representative, your vehicles risk non-compliance, penalties, and restricted market access.
Having an Authorised Representative is essential to:
- Maintain Regulatory Compliance: Ensure your vehicles meet the conformity and documentation standards required in the EU
- Respond to Competent Authorities: Manage and respond to official information or documentation requests.
- Support Risk Management: Work with authorities to address and resolve any safety or compliance risks.
- Meet Legal Requirements: Hold the Declaration of Conformity and retain technical documentation for at least 10 years after the vehicle enters the market.
