The Manufacturing Service Agreement is essential for businesses outsourcing their manufacturing operations in Ireland or to Irish manufacturers. This document is crucial when a company (the client) wishes to engage a manufacturer to produce goods according to specific requirements and standards. The agreement, governed by Irish law, comprehensively addresses all aspects of the manufacturing relationship, including production specifications, quality control, intellectual property rights, risk allocation, and compliance with Irish and EU regulations. It's particularly important in regulated industries where quality control and compliance are critical. The document typically includes detailed schedules for technical specifications, pricing, and service levels, and incorporates requirements from relevant Irish legislation such as the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act 1980 and applicable EU directives.
