EPR Glossary
Authorised representative
A designated representative role that may be provided for by certain EPR regimes.
What does Authorised representative mean?
In some EPR situations, an authorised representative can perform tasks or obligations on behalf of another company. The exact role, conditions and responsibilities depend on the applicable regime.
Why does this matter for EPR?
An authorised representative, the legally obligated party, a portal account and a fulfilment service provider are different concepts and should not be conflated.
How Eprify handles it
Eprify keeps the representative role separate and links it to obligations only where the relevant rule requires it.
Note: This glossary explains terms in general and does not replace a legal assessment of a specific case. The applicable market, product, role and current legal framework always matter.
