provider · high risk · Article 21
Article 21 requires providers of high-risk AI systems, upon a reasoned request from a national competent authority, to provide all information and documentation necessary to demonstrate conformity with Chapter III, Section 2 requirements, in an official Union language determined by the requesting authority. Providers must also cooperate with authorities on any action taken in relation to the system. This is the general cooperation backbone that supports Article 74 market surveillance and Article 79 enforcement procedures.
How to satisfy it: Establish an authority request handling procedure with defined response timelines.
