Authorized Representation (AR)

Authorized Representation (AR)

Authorized Representation (AR) refers to a Saudi-based entity that has entered into a contractual agreement, often of a non-commercial regulatory nature, with a medical device manufacturer. This agreement designates the entity to act as the manufacturer’s representative within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Any foreign manufacturers looking to enter the Saudi Arabian market are required to appoint a representative within Saudi Arabia who has the legal authority to act on their behalf in dealings with the SFDA. It helps them navigate complex regulatory requirements, ensures compliance with SFDA standards, and facilitates effective communication with the SFDA, ultimately
enabling them to offer safe and compliant products to the Saudi market standards.
