What an EU AI Systems Representative does
The EU AI Act applies to providers wherever they are based. If you place a high-risk AI system on the market in the EU, even from a country outside of the union, you are required to appoint an authorised representative established in the EU before you do so.
An AI Systems Representative under the EU AI Act:
Accepts a written mandate from the provider and holds a copy for the market surveillance authorities, in an official European Union language they specify.
Verifies that the EU declaration of conformity and the technical documentation have been drawn up and that the right conformity assessment procedure was carried out.
Keeps the provider's contact details, the declaration of conformity, the technical documentation and any notified body certificate at the disposal of the competent authorities.
Cooperates with those authorities on any action they take in relation to the high-risk AI system.
As with our other representation services, Prighter will take care of this, acting as your local presence, holding the documentation, and serving as the inbound contact on your behalf, so your team can operate from a single dashboard rather than a market surveillance authority in each EU Member State.

EU AI Act Authorised Representative FAQs
What is the EU AI Act?
The EU Artificial Intelligence Act is the world’s first comprehensive AI regulation. It categorises AI systems based on risk and establishes legal requirements for their development, placement on the market, and use within the EU. The Act applies to any organisation — including those outside the EU — if their systems impact people within the Union.
What is an Authorised Representative?
An Authorised Representative is a legal entity based in the EU that acts on behalf of an AI provider located outside the EU. This representative holds a written mandate to carry out specific legal tasks — including acting as a contact point for authorities and holding technical documentation to support post-market compliance.
Who needs to appoint an Authorised Representative?
Any provider of an AI system subject to the AI Act — who is not established in the EU — must appoint a sole Authorised Representative. This includes:
- Providers of high-risk AI systems under Title III, Chapter 1
- Providers of General-Purpose AI models, depending on deployment
This requirement applies regardless of company size and includes developers, deployers, and third-country suppliers whose AI systems reach the EU.
