Safety component on the production line: the manufacturer keeps watching after delivery

A manufacturer supplies an AI safety component that halts machinery on a production line as soon as someone comes too close to the robot. The component already falls under product legislation for machinery, and the manufacturer runs quality control and incident follow-up for it. The question is what Article 72 adds on top of that.

What this object links to

Every relation appears below as a path: from the source with its locator, through the conditions and exceptions of the object carrying the relation, to the consequence. A locator belongs to a statement in the data and not to a relation, so the source is the source anchor of the carrying object.

What this object states

Official fact

Attributable to a named primary source, with a locator. Where they differ, the official source prevails.

Article 72(1) requires providers to establish and document a post-market monitoring system in a manner proportionate to the nature of the AI technologies and the risks of the high-risk AI system. Article 72(3) provides that this system is based on a post-market monitoring plan, and that the plan forms part of the technical documentation referred to in Annex IV. Article 72(4) gives providers of high-risk AI systems covered by the Union harmonisation legislation listed in Section A of Annex I, where a post-market monitoring system and plan are already established under that legislation, the choice of integrating the necessary elements described in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 into those systems and plans, using the template referred to in paragraph 3, provided this achieves an equivalent level of protection.

Our interpretation

Our own reading. It can change without the law changing, and it is not the position of a supervisory authority.

Our reading is that Article 72 does not force a second, separate monitoring structure here: paragraph 4 gives you the choice of housing the elements in the system and plan you already run under product legislation, using the template from paragraph 3 and as long as the level of protection remains equivalent. That route stands or falls on a question the article does not answer for you: does the applicable product legislation genuinely have an established post-market monitoring system and plan, or do you run quality control and incident follow-up that were never established as such. Beyond that, you need to be able to show that the signals coming off the factory floor genuinely speak to continued compliance with the high-risk AI requirements, and not only to the mechanical safety of the machine. We would therefore record, for each production signal, which requirement it touches, so that integration does not become dilution.
