Manufacturer agreements are the contracts between you and the factory or supplier that makes your product. They show who makes the product and on what terms. You can add them to your product's documents as part of your technical file.
Who counts as the manufacturer
Under EU and UK product rules, the manufacturer is the business that designs and makes a product, or has it made and sells it under its own name or brand. If you use a contract factory but sell the product under your brand, you are the manufacturer in the legal sense. Your factory agreement is how you document that relationship.

Update it when you change factory.
