Actor identifier / Single registration number (SRN)
The Actor registration module enables economic operators to submit, by means of an actor registration request, the information necessary to obtain an actor identifier/single registration number (Actor ID/SRN).
The Actor ID/SRN is a EU-wide unique identification for economic operators in the medical devices sector.
- Following the assessment and approval of the request by the concerned national competent authority, EUDAMED generates the Actor ID/SRN of the economic operator to the national competent authority and transfers it to the requesting economic operator
