The Authorised Representative in Germany

The basic idea behind the obligation to appoint an authorized representative is  to ensure a legally responsible person in the country of sale who assumes the obligations of the foreign distributor and can be prosecuted in the event of violations. The obligation already exists in Germany for electrical and electronic devices and batteries/accumulators. In the area of packaging, there will be an obligation in the future - we are already offering the takeover.
