A representative function with a technical foundation
Through juristech Lewandowski E.I. in France, an EU authorised representative mandate can be established for suitable products. UK-related representation is available through the UK structure where the relevant product rules permit and suit that role. EU, Great Britain and Northern Ireland are considered separately.
Define the mandate
The arrangement is more than the use of an address. A written mandate specifies the products, tasks, responsibilities and limits.
- Product and variant list
- Applicable target markets and product legislation
- Manufacturer contacts and document access
- Representative tasks and limits of responsibility
- Retention, updates and product-change procedures
- A process for authority, customer and audit enquiries
Review before onboarding
We review whether declarations, instructions, risk assessments, standards lists, test reports and marking information are plausible and clearly related to the products. Any gaps requiring correction are identified before a mandate is accepted.
Keep evidence available
Within the agreed mandate, documentation is organised and kept available, with product and revision references. Enquiries are assigned to the relevant product and coordinated with the manufacturer. Changes need a controlled update process.
Product scope
The focus is on machinery, special-purpose equipment, industrial assemblies, electrical equipment, control systems, sensors, tools and other technical products. Specially regulated sectors such as medical devices, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food and chemicals are not part of the standard offer; suitability is assessed before acceptance.
EU and UK mandates remain distinct
An EU mandate does not automatically cover the UK, and a UK address does not replace an EU representative. The required roles depend on the product legislation, supply chain and destination. Manufacturer obligations remain with the party assigned those duties by law.
What you receive
- An assessment of representative needs and product suitability
- A defined product portfolio and written mandate
- A documentation review and onboarding action list
- Agreed document retention and update arrangements
- A coordinated process for requests within the mandate
Deliverables are agreed to match the product, project stage and scope.

Does every non-EU manufacturer need an authorised representative?
No. This depends on the applicable product rules, supply chain and economic operators already involved.
Can one mandate cover several products?
Yes, where the products, variants, documentation and mandate limits are clearly defined.
Can onboarding be handled remotely?
In many cases yes, using a structured checklist and secure document exchange.
Is a representative a substitute for conformity assessment?
No. A mandate does not replace complete conformity assessment, technical implementation or the manufacturer’s responsibilities.
juristech supports technical assessment, regulatory classification and documentation within the agreed scope. Responsibility for product conformity, technical implementation, marking and release remains with the manufacturer or other responsible economic operator. We do not provide representation in legal disputes.
