With the implementation of Switzerland's MedDO and IvDO in 2021, navigating the regulatory landscape for medical devices and IVDs requires understanding key roles, including the mandatory Swiss Authorised Representative (CH-REP) for foreign manufacturers and the CH-Importer. The CH-Importer, as the Swiss-based entity placing foreign products on the market, faces strict compliance obligations.
Given the complexity and time involved in meeting these requirements without sufficient expertise, clarity on the CH-REP's functions and how they relate to the CH-Importer's responsibilities is paramount for avoiding risks and achieving compliant, smooth market entry.
After completing these five simple steps, you’ll be ready to sell your products in the Swiss market.

Additional Information:
Non-Swiss manufacturers of medical devices and in vitro diagnostics (IVDs) must appoint a CH-REP (Swiss Authorized Representative) to legally sell their products in Switzerland. Since Switzerland is no longer part of the EU’s Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA), compliance with Swiss medical device regulations (MedDO and IvDO) is mandatory.
A CH-REP serves as the official representative of a foreign manufacturer and acts as the main contact for Swissmedic and other regulatory authorities. The CH-REP ensures that all products meet Swiss legal requirements, including correct labeling, documentation, and post-market surveillance. Without a designated CH-REP, manufacturers outside Switzerland cannot place their medical devices or IVDs on the Swiss market.
Choosing a trusted CH-REP is essential to avoid compliance risks and regulatory issues. The CH-REP is responsible for keeping the Technical Documentation available for Swissmedic, assisting with regulatory inquiries, and ensuring that vigilance and incident reporting obligations are met.
If you need a reliable CH-REP to support your market entry and compliance efforts, we are here to help. Our expert team ensures that your medical devices meet Swiss regulatory requirements, allowing you to focus on business growth. Contact us today to learn more about our CH-REP services. Fast track.
