Swiss authorised representative (CH-REP)

Informations on the Swiss authorised representative (CH-REP) can be found in the following information sheet:

Use of the “CH-REP” symbol

The name and address of the authorised representative must appear adjacent to the symbol. The address must enable contact to be established with the Swiss authorised representative. It is not sufficient only to state the P.O. box number, an e-mail address or a telephone number.

Name and address of the authorised representative’s registered place of business

The relative size of the symbol and the size of the name are not defined, but they must be clearly legible to the naked eye.

When symbols are used, they must as a rule conform to the harmonised standards. If no such standards exist for the area concerned, the symbols must be explained in the product documentation enclosed. In this case Swissmedic accepts the sole use of the symbol without any description of the symbol in the product documentation enclosed.

The symbol description is as follows: “Indicates the authorised representative in Switzerland”

Instead of the symbol it is permissible to write “CH authorised representative” / “CH-REP” / “Authorised representative for Switzerland”.
