Actor registration

Q:

Can I make the Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance (PRRC) details invisible in the EUDAMED public site?

A:

The Medical Devices Regulations have provisions (MDR Art 31{7}/IVDR Art 28{7}) requiring to have the PRRC data accessible to the public.

The PRRC contact details entered in EUDAMED should not be private, but professional/business details. (Use of functional mailboxes is allowed).

Q:

How can I see my pending Actor registration request?

A:

You can find your pending Actor registration request(s) with their application ID, on My pending requests page.

If you have no actor registered yet, this page is your homepage when accessing EUDAMED.

If you are already associated to more than one actor registered, on the My Actors page, which is your first page when accessing EUDAMED, click on 'See my pending requests' (bottom left).

If you are already associated to only one actor registered, or you have already selected the actor you want to act on behalf, click on the link with your name (top right corner) and scroll down till the end of the page, click on “See my pending Requests”.

Q:

Can an importer delete the link with non-EU manufacturers for which they do not import anymore?

A:

No, there is no possibility to delete the link between a non-EU manufacturer and an importer. The link remains for traceability reasons. The end date tells you if the importer is still linked to the manufacturer or not anymore.

Q:

My actor registration request is still pending. Who should I contact?

A:

Firstly, please ensure that you are in the production environment of EUDAMED, not the playground environment. You can easily identify the playground because the European Commission logo on the top of the page has a red banner across it stating "Play". If you are a non-EU manufacturer and your actor registration request is still in the state Submitted, you should contact the Authorised Representative you indicated in your actor registration request.

Q:

How can I check if my organisation is already registered as an Actor in EUDAMED?

A:

Registered actors can be found on the public EUDAMED site.

Q:

My organisation undertakes more than one role. Do I have to make separate registrations for each different role?

A:

Yes, if your organisation has multiple roles, you need to submit separated actor registration requests because your organisation needs a unique Actor ID/SRN for each different actor role. View the Actor ID/SRN and Actor roles infographic for more information.

Q:

How does EUDAMED check for duplicate actors, and will this prevent me from creating more than one actor role for my organisation?

A:

The duplicate check is performed on certain fields (name, address, VAT, EORI) for each separate Actor type, so an Actor registering a second time with the same name and address but for another actor type will not be marked as duplicate.

The duplicate check is a warning. It does not prevent you from submitting an actor registration request, however if you have a duplicate warning and the request is not a duplicate, it is good practice to add a justification in the Any other information of significance for the Competent Authority field.

Q:

I have submitted an actor registration request, where can I find its application ID?

A:

You can find your application ID on My pending requests page.

If you have no actor registered yet, this page is your homepage when accessing EUDAMED.

If you are already associated to or more actors registered, on the My Actors page, which is your first page when accessing EUDAMED, click on See my pending Requests link (bottom left).

Q:

I spotted a mistake in my Actor application request after submitting it. How can I submit a correction?

A:

Q:

What is the EORI number?

A:

The EORI number (Economic Operators Registration and Identification number) is an identification number, unique in the customs territory of the European Union, assigned by a customs authority to an economic operator or to another person with a view to registration for the purposes of customs. It is used in all customs procedures when exchanging information with customs administrations.
