What is an Authorized Representative for EU GPSR?
An Authorized Representative (AR) is a third party designated by non-EU manufacturers to act on their behalf in the European Union. Under the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), non-EU businesses are required to appoint an AR to ensure that their products meet EU safety standards and regulatory requirements before entering the market.
