EU Authorised Representative Checker
3-question decision tree that determines whether your organisation must designate an EU Authorised Representative under Article 22 of the EU AI Act. Designed for non-EU providers.
Why this matters
Non-EU providers of high-risk AI systems must, under Art. 22, appoint an EU-established authorised representative before placing the system on the EU market. The representative holds the technical documentation and acts as the single point of contact for authorities. Without one, market placement is illegal.
How to use it
- 1Confirm whether your organisation is established inside or outside the EU.
- 2If outside, review the Art. 22 mandate requirements — written, specific, revocable.
- 3Shortlist candidate representatives (often legal firms or compliance consultancies).
- 4Store the mandate and contact details in the technical file and on the declaration of conformity.
