UKCA Authorized Representative , Great Britain does not recognize authorized representatives and responsible persons based in the EU. If you need to (or choose to) use an authorized representative or responsible person, they will need to be based in the UK for products being placed on the GB market.
Check your legal responsibilities
Manufacturers are responsible for ensuring your product complies with the relevant GB rules
drawing up documentation such as the declaration of conformity
You can delegate some of the duties to an authorized representative – you will need to check the specific regulations that apply to confirm what can and cannot be delegated.
In most cases, you must apply the UKCA marking to the product itself or to the packaging. In some cases, it may be placed on the manuals or on other supporting literature. This will vary depending on the specific regulations that apply to the product.
The following general rules apply:
UKCA markings must only be placed on a product by you as the manufacturer or your authorised representative (where allowed for in the relevant legislation)
when attaching the UKCA marking, you take full responsibility for your product’s conformity with the requirements of the relevant legislation
you must only use the UKCA marking to show product conformity with the relevant UK legislation
you must not place any marking or sign that may misconstrue the meaning or form of the UKCA marking to third parties
you must not attach other markings on the product which affect the visibility, legibility or meaning of the UKCA marking
the UKCA marking cannot be placed on products unless there is a specific requirement to do so in the legislation.

The links below will guide you through the papers and regulations concerning Medical Devices. We hope this will give you more insight and understanding of the Medical Device Directives.
From the regulatory point of view, the requirements for the introduction of a medical device on the European market are fulfilled. The CE mark is an indication to show conformity to all obligations for medical devices as required by the Medical Devices Directives. With the CE mark in place your products can be legally marketed in Europe (precisely the EU, EEA and the few other countries having mutual recognition agreements in place).
For the penetration to non-EU markets a Free Sales Certificate must be provided by the manufacturer. The Free Sales Certificate demonstrates from the government that you place products, legally with the CE mark on the European market.
The European Free Sales Certificate (FSC) / Certificate of Marketability, is issued by the Competent Authority of the EU member state where the “manufacturer” in Europe or his authorized representative (EC REP) has his registered place of business. If the manufacturer is not situated in Europe only the Authorized Representative is able to obtain the Free Sales Certificate on behalf of the manufacturer.
