# Swiss Authorized Representative (CH-REP)

Access the Swiss medical device market

Manufacturers based outside Switzerland must appoint a Swiss Authorized Representative to place medical devices and IVDs on the Swiss market.

## What is a CH-REP and who needs one?

Since Switzerland is not part of the EU regulatory framework, manufacturers based outside Switzerland must appoint a Swiss Authorized Representative (CH-REP) to place medical devices and IVDs on the Swiss market. This obligation is outlined in the Swiss Medical Devices Ordinance (MedDO, SR 812.213) and the In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Ordinance (IvDO, SR 812.219).
