Q5. Why European Authorized Representative different from the importers or distributors of product?

Answer: The European authorized representative designated by manufacture, which is outside the EU, is responsible for regulation affairs with Competent Authority.

We strongly suggest that the manufacture should find a professional one, not a trading company or distributor which may know the skill how to increase the sales but know little about the complex regulations about the MDD.

So the trading or distributor can not catch the revised regulation information and transfer to the manufacture on time.

If the incident happened due to the distributor or the trading company, do you expect them will protect your company or theirs?

Q6. How to find good a European authorized representative?

Answer: You can not only on website for looking for European authorized representatives, if it’s nature has problems, no matter how large company the website looks, how detail the contents, they all make no sense.

Two steps can be taken to distinguish the good company or not:

First step-“search”: Search the address of European authorized representative on Google; whether there is some relationship with some illegal company (such as financial fraud company), and whether several companies are registered in one address. If one or two complied, that company must be use a virtual office address. Enterprise can never use such company!

Two measure-“call”: you can call the phone of European authorized representative in European working time (usually after 4 o 'clock afternoon in Beijing time), if no staff answer and instead of recording that means it is a recording telephone, there is no personnel in the office in Europe. Imagine if you cooperate with such company, when your products got some problems in the EU, how can you still find people to solve the problem?

We don’t want you to spend money and cooperate with a company which looks like to be a big company with many branches all over the world. But actually, it is just a very bad company with “virtual office”+ “recording telephone”!
