How to find a manufacturer's SRN in EUDAMED

A manufacturer's SRN is public, and finding it takes one search. The Single Registration Number identifies an economic operator in EUDAMED, and once that operator is registered, its SRN is shown on the EUDAMED public website — no account, no login. Search the company by name, open its actor record, and read the SRN. Here is how to do it, and how to read what the number is telling you.

What the SRN is, in one line

The SRN (Single Registration Number) is the EU-wide unique identifier assigned to an economic operator — a manufacturer, authorised representative, importer, or system/procedure-pack producer — when it registers as an actor in EUDAMED. It is set out in the MDR (Regulation (EU) 2017/745): Article 31 covers the registration of manufacturers, authorised representatives and importers, and Article 30 is the electronic system that generates the number. After a national competent authority verifies the operator's data, it obtains the SRN from the system and issues it to the operator (Article 31(2)). So EUDAMED generates it, the competent authority issues it — and the public can read it. (For the full background, see the EUDAMED SRN explained.)

How to read an SRN

An SRN has a fixed shape — country, role, number — for example DE-MF-000000001:

• DE — the two-letter ISO country code of the operator (here, Germany);
• MF — the actor-role code: MF = manufacturer, AR = authorised representative, IM = importer, PR = system/procedure-pack producer;
• 000000001 — a nine-digit number (no check digit).

So the SRN already tells you two facts before you read anything else: the operator's country and its role. The role matters — the SRN is per-actor, not per-device, and it is role-specific: a company that is both a manufacturer and an importer registers separately for each and gets a separate SRN for each role.

How to find a manufacturer's SRN

1. Open the public EUDAMED site — ec.europa.eu/tools/eudamed — with no login. (On what is public and what needs an account, see Is EUDAMED public?.)
2. Search the actor by company name (or by SRN, or country).
3. Open the actor record — the SRN is displayed publicly, alongside the operator's role and registered details.

Because devices are registered under their manufacturer's SRN, the number is also the pivot between a product and its maker: from a device you can reach the manufacturer, and from a manufacturer you can list its registered devices.

Why you would look one up

A few practical reasons: to confirm a manufacturer is actually registered in EUDAMED, to cross-reference a device to its maker, to confirm an operator's role (is this company the manufacturer, or an importer?), and for supplier due diligence. One useful negative, too: distributors do not get an SRN — only the four economic-operator roles above register. A pharmacy or wholesaler having no SRN is normal, not a red flag.

Doing it faster in MD Atlas

MD Atlas indexes EUDAMED's public actor data — 45,603 companies and other actors as of June 2026, an indexed subset of the public data, not the complete database. You can search a company by name and open its page to read its SRN and role, or start from a device and pivot to the manufacturer behind it. Same public data as the official site, with the lookup made quick.

The short version: a manufacturer's SRN is public — search the company by name on EUDAMED, open the actor, and read it. The number itself decodes to country, role, and a nine-digit identifier; EUDAMED generated it and the competent authority issued it.
