role
Authorised representative
The authorised representative is the party located in the Union that, on the basis of a written mandate, performs and carries out the obligations and procedures of the Regulation on behalf of a provider established outside the EU. The definition in Article 3(5) already applies today, so the role can be determined now. The appointment duty itself starts on 2 December 2027 for the standalone Annex III route and on 2 August 2028 for the embedded Annex I route. From those dates, a third-country provider may not place a high-risk AI system on the Union market without an appointed representative.
