Domestic Responsible Person

Meaning

The Domestic Responsible Person is a specific, legally mandated entity or individual established within a designated regulatory jurisdiction, such as the European Union or the United Kingdom, who assumes legal accountability for the compliance of a product placed on that market. This role is crucial for ensuring that imported cosmetic products, medical devices, or other regulated goods meet all local health, safety, and labeling requirements. The Responsible Person acts as the essential point of contact for national regulatory authorities, diligently maintaining product information files and managing post-market surveillance data. This designation is a cornerstone of consumer protection and regulatory efficiency in the global health and wellness trade.
