The basics
The EU responsible person: who it is and how to get one
A seller from outside the EU needs someone inside the EU whom buyers and authorities can contact about product safety. This is the responsible person, also called the EU representative.
Who can be a responsible person
[LAWYER TEXT] Who may act as the responsible person for a manufacturer from outside the EU, and what the written mandate has to contain.
What the responsible person does
[LAWYER TEXT] The tasks of the responsible person under the regulation, and what stays with the manufacturer.
How it works with us
- A company in Cyprus becomes your responsible person under a written mandate that you read in full and sign online.
- You get its name, address and email for your listings and labels.
- You get a certificate with a public verification page: anyone can check that the mandate is valid.
- Your product documents are kept in one place and shown to the authorities on request.
This helps you meet the GPSR requirements. Product safety itself remains your responsibility as the manufacturer.
