Article 24 places verification obligations on distributors of high-risk AI systems. Before making a system available on the market, distributors must verify that: the system bears the CE marking; it is accompanied by the EU declaration of conformity and instructions for use; and the provider and importer have complied with their respective obligations. Distributors must also ensure storage and transport conditions do not compromise compliance, and inform the provider or importer and market surveillance authority if the system presents a risk.
