Swiss Authorized Representative

Your access to Switzerland

We make it possible for you to sell your medical devices in Switzerland and we offer you the legal infrastructure to do so.
Your Goal

Selling medical devices in Switzerland

Manufacturers domiciled outside Switzerland (who are not covered by any third country agreements and / or agreement on the mutual recognition of conformity assessments) must designate an Authorized Representative (AR).

The Medical Device Ordinance (MedDO SR 812.213 version 01.07.2020) entered into force on 26.05.2021, which is also the date of application of the Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745. All transitional periods have expired, and a Swiss AR is required for all MDD/MDR products.

The Ordinance on In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices (IvDO) is in force since 26.05.2022. The same date as the date of application of the IVDR in the EU. The following transitional periods for designating a Swiss AR are in place:

31.12.2022: Class D
31.03.2023: class B and C
31.07.2023: Class A

Please let us know how many Technical Documentations and EMDN codes (or GMDN / UMDNS codes) you have.

(Please note that Effectum CH-Rep AG accepts a mandate as the Swiss Authorized Representative for Class III / IVD List/Class D products only in exceptional cases upon thorough assessment of each request.)
The customer must include Effectum CH-Rep AG in its liability insurance. Effectum CH-Rep AG does not guarantee the acceptance of the mandate. Since the Swiss Authorised Representative is jointly liable with the manufacturer for defective products, Effectum CH-Rep AG makes the acceptance of the Swiss Rep mandate dependent on a preliminary verification of the conformity of the medical device, which includes the verification of the technical documentation. We will use your contact details to contact you directly to discuss possible cooperation opportunities now or in the future.
