What does it require?

A provider that considers, or has reason to consider, that a high-risk system it has placed on the market is not in conformity must immediately correct it, withdraw it, disable it or recall it as appropriate, and inform the distributors, deployers, authorised representative and importers. Where the system presents a risk to health, safety or fundamental rights and the provider becomes aware of that risk, it must immediately investigate the causes together with the reporting deployer and inform the market surveillance authorities and, where relevant, the notified body.

Practical action

Add a non-conformity and recall procedure for AI products with a supply-chain notification list and an authority-notification step.

Who does it apply to?

Providers of high-risk AI systems already on the market or in service.
