Manage your Applicant's Manufacturers

The following page will show you how to manage your Applicant’s manufacturers in the registration system. This includes how to add, edit or delete a manufacturer.

What is a manufacturer?

A manufacturer is an organisation that manufactures the product that you are registering. A list of manufacturers for the Applicant is located under the Applicant Management tab for Authorising Officers and Authorised Representatives.

When do you need to add a manufacturer?

The only time you do not need to add a manufacturer is if the Applicant is a manufacturer itself.

How many manufacturers do you need?

An Applicant must have at least one manufacturer (unless the Applicant is the manufacturer) in order to register a product. You can add more than one manufacturer to an Applicant. A registration can display up to three manufacturers, however, the Applicant ID may have more than three available.
