UK Responsible Person (UKRP) Services
Placing medical devices or IVDs on the UK market? You need a UK Responsible Person (UKRP). Qarad UK Ltd., part of the QbD Group ensures your compliance with the UK MDR 2002 (as amended), supporting non-UK manufacturers in successfully bringing their products to the UK market. Market your product in the UK with full confidence.
Following Brexit, manufacturers located outside the United Kingdom — including those in the EU — must appoint a UK Responsible Person (UKRP) to place medical devices and IVDs on the Great Britain market. This requirement is defined under the UK Medical Devices Regulations 2002 (as amended).
Qarad UK Ltd., part of the QbD Group, is an experienced and independent UKRP based in London. We are a member of the UK Responsible Person Association (UKRPA), committed to professional conduct and regulatory excellence.
What is a UK Responsible Person (UKRP) and who needs one?
A UKRP is a natural or legal person established in the United Kingdom who is appointed by a manufacturer based outside the UK to act on their behalf. The UKRP assumes responsibility for specific tasks under the UK MDR 2002 and communicates with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). Who needs a UKRP?
