Who holds medical device registrations in the European Union

A manufacturer based outside the EU must designate a sole EU authorised representative before its device can be placed on the Union market, so one representative serves every member state. The Index lists 2,490 EU authorised representatives in the European Union from the EUDAMED register, last read on 23 October 2026.

Who may hold a registration in the European Union

A manufacturer based outside the EU must designate a sole EU authorised representative before its device can be placed on the Union market, so one representative serves every member state. Every economic operator, meaning EU and non-EU manufacturers, authorised representatives, system or procedure pack producers and importers, must register as an actor in EUDAMED before placing devices on the EU market. Distributors are not on that list, so EUDAMED does not register them.

EU authorised representatives in the European Union: top 50

EUDAMED publishes no count of mandates per representative, so the list is ordered as on the country pages: independent distributors first, then lines carried, registrations in other registries and size. Each name opens its profile with roles, principals and sources.

How many holders also distribute

289 of the 2,490 holders listed here (12%) are also independent distributors in the Index: companies that supply the market for makers other than themselves, not a manufacturer, a maker's own entity or a regulatory service firm.

The others: 1,438 makers' own import or sales entities, 24 manufacturers and 739 regulatory representatives that hold registrations with no sign in the registries that they supply the market.

Independent holders in the European Union: top 20

Companies that hold registrations here with no sign in the registries that they supply the market themselves: regulatory representatives and holders as a service. A holder that is not your distributor keeps your distributors replaceable. Confirm what each one does before you appoint it.

Authorised representatives and importers by country

EUDAMED lists authorised representatives and importers as registered actors. It does not register distributors, so the distributors on the country pages come from other registries.

Counts are companies in the Index that EUDAMED names as authorised representative or importer. EU medical device importers in 2026 looks at the importer side.

Medical device registration in the European Union with CE or FDA clearance

With CE marking: CE marking is the market authorisation itself.

With FDA clearance: No reliance route on FDA clearance is confirmed in the source.

CE marking under the MDR is the market authorisation; no national approval. A non-EU maker needs an EU authorised representative.

Sources: Regulation (EU) 2017/745 on medical devices (MDR), EUR-Lex. Confidence in this route: high, checked 23 October 2026. Rules change and differ by device class; confirm with the regulator before you plan a launch date.

How to check it yourself in the official register

EUDAMED, actor registration (economic operators). Search the economic operators by name, country or role. Authorised representatives and importers are there; distributors are not.

The register is the record that counts. Check the holder named on your own device's registration before you sign, and again before you change distributors.

What changes if you switch holder

The registration sits in the holder's name, not yours. If the holder is also your distributor, changing or adding a distributor means moving the registration or filing a new one, and where a regulator publishes a transfer process, the current holder has to take part.

Independent holders, firms that hold registrations for makers without selling their products, keep your distributors replaceable. In the Index, 739 of the companies listed here show no sign in the registries that they supply the market themselves, which is a place to start looking; confirm what each one does before you appoint it.

The article Who holds the registration compares holding it yourself, through an independent holder or through your distributor, and lists the clauses to agree before the first order.

Registration holders in the European Union: questions

Who can be a registration holder in the European Union?

A manufacturer based outside the EU must designate a sole EU authorised representative before its device can be placed on the Union market, so one representative serves every member state. Every economic operator, meaning EU and non-EU manufacturers, authorised representatives, system or procedure pack producers and importers, must register as an actor in EUDAMED before placing devices on the EU market. Distributors are not on that list, so EUDAMED does not register them.

Can a distributor hold my registration in the European Union?

In the Index, 289 of the 2,490 EU authorised representatives listed for the European Union are also independent distributors. Whether your distributor should hold it is a separate decision, because the holder controls market access: see Who holds the registration.

Is there a list of EU authorised representatives?

Yes. This page lists the top 50 of the 2,490 EU authorised representatives the Index holds for the European Union, each linked to its profile, and the CSV carries 2,490 company rows. The official record is the EUDAMED, actor registration (economic operators).

How do I check who holds a device registration in the European Union?

Use the EUDAMED, actor registration (economic operators). Search the economic operators by name, country or role. Authorised representatives and importers are there; distributors are not.
