The conclusion and your first steps

This applies now

Coming up

Your first actions

  1. Run the four verifications of Article 23(1) before importing. Check and record: the conformity assessment has been carried out, the technical documentation exists, the CE marking plus declaration and instructions for use are present, and an authorised representative has been appointed.
  2. Perform the Article 24(1) check before making available. Verify the CE marking, the presence of the EU declaration of conformity and the instructions for use, and whether the provider and importer complied with Article 16, points (b) and (c), and Article 23(3).
  3. Appoint an authorised representative and record the mandate. Determine whether you are the provider of the model, appoint an authorised representative established in the Union by written mandate before placing the model on the market, and write out in that mandate the four tasks in paragraph 3, the access to the Annex XI documentation and the point of contact under paragraph 4.

Execution

Make supplier information and commitments verifiable

Your own file partly depends on information, instructions and commitments from the provider or supplier. Embed AI checks which materials are missing and translates those gaps into contractual and operational actions. The source interpretation above is separate from this commercial referral by Praxikon to an affiliated brand.
