EC REP Pricing

EU Authorized Representative Cost & Budget Calculator (2026)

Build a transparent annual planning range, then replace it with itemised provider quotes. The calculator is a budgeting model, not an official tariff or market-price index.

The three EC REP pricing models

Providers commonly structure quotes in one of three ways. The labels are not standardised, so compare the included work and the provider's definition of a product, device family or generic device group.

ModelHow it worksCan suitWhat to verify
Flat fee Fixed annual amount regardless of SKU count A stable or growing portfolio Device/group cap, included reviews and change fees
Per-device Charged per product certificate or SKU per year A small, clearly defined portfolio What counts as one device, model, family or certificate
Hybrid Flat fee base + surcharge above a SKU threshold Portfolios expected to change Base allowance, surcharge triggers and annual minimum

Calculate your EC REP cost

Use the calculator below for an internal planning envelope. Its assumptions were revised on 20 August 2026; they are deliberately broad because providers do not publish a directly comparable tariff for the same mandate scope.

Estimated annual EC REP cost

What affects EC REP pricing the most?

Portfolio definition is a major cost driver. Do not compare quotes until every provider prices the same generic device groups, variants, risk classes and certificates. Ask how additions, discontinuations and significant changes are billed during the contract term.
The manufacturer's PRRC and the EC REP's PRRC are separate Article 15 duties. The authorised representative must have its own qualified PRRC permanently and continuously at its disposal. A micro or small manufacturer may separately contract a qualified external PRRC, but that service is not automatically included in the EC REP mandate.

How much does an EU Authorized Representative cost per year?

There is no official EU tariff or current public price index for EC REP service fees. The reviewed providers require a quote, and offers are not comparable until the mandate scope is normalised. Use the planning calculator to reserve budget, then obtain written quotes that separate the annual mandate fee, onboarding and document review, EUDAMED work, national fees, changes, vigilance support and termination or transfer assistance.

A useful official cost signal is the fee charged by the relevant national authority, where applicable. For example, Ireland's 2026 HPRA schedule sets annual fees charged to authorised representatives of €1,200 per low-risk represented manufacturer and €1,635 per high-risk or mixed-risk represented manufacturer, with caps. These are Irish regulatory charges to the authorised representative—not a universal EC REP service price—and a provider may pass them through, include them or price differently.

Is there a cheap EU authorized representative for small manufacturers?

A low headline fee may be available, but it is only meaningful when the quote covers the same legal entity, portfolio and operational work as competing offers. Ask whether onboarding, technical-documentation review, EUDAMED registration, authority requests, incident support, annual changes and transfer-out assistance are included or billed separately.

When comparing low-cost options, check the provider's liability insurance coverage, EUDAMED registration experience, and responsiveness to market surveillance inquiries — the cheapest option is not always the safest one.

What factors increase EC REP cost?

The main quote drivers are the portfolio definition, risk class and liability exposure, depth of document review, EUDAMED and national registration work, volume of post-market and authority support, frequency of changes, additional jurisdictions and the insurance carried by the entity accepting the mandate.

Contract length, renewal terms and termination support also affect total cost. Ask for a three-year total-cost view, but do not assume a standard multi-year discount.

Related representative service costs

The cost of representation depends on the scope: product category, target markets, liability exposure, documentation volume, and ongoing obligations all affect pricing. Beyond EC REP, non-EU manufacturers may also require these additional representative and compliance services, each with their own cost structure:
