The authorised representative can be seen as a support function to the producer, to better understand these legal requirements and to make sure, that all of them are met on time. When commissioning an authorised representative via a power of attorney, which is a legal obligation in several EU member states, you can be sure that you will not unknowingly miss any duties or deadlines regarding your packaging.
If you are a producer without a registered office in Austria and are selling your products directly to Austrian end consumers, you are obliged to appoint an authorised representative. For producers that sell their products only to Austrian businesses, the obligation is as well applicable, if the foreign producer is taking care of the packaging obligations on behalf of its Austrian business client.
