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.
