Any manufacturer incorporated outside the European Union who places CE-marked medical devices or IVDs on EU markets must appoint an EU Authorised Representative. This is a legal requirement under EU MDR (2017/745) and IVDR (2017/746). The EC-REP is named on the Declaration of Conformity and on device labelling, and carries defined legal liability under EU law.
UKALIA Ltd acts as EC-REP and is registered in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Under the Northern Ireland Protocol, Northern Ireland maintains alignment with EU medical device regulations — meaning an EC-REP registered in Belfast provides access to all EU-27 markets while retaining UK regulatory standing. This is a structural advantage not available from a continental EU-only representative.
Fixed annual fee. Defined scope. No additional charges for routine regulatory correspondence within the agreed appointment.
