Article 73: Reporting of Serious Incidents

provider · high risk · Article 73

Article 73 requires providers of high-risk AI systems to report serious incidents to the market surveillance authorities of the Member State(s) where the incident occurred. Reports must be made immediately after the provider establishes a causal link (or reasonable likelihood) between the AI system and the incident, and no later than 15 days after becoming aware. For death or serious damage to health, an initial report must be submitted immediately and no later than 2 days after awareness. The article also covers follow-up reporting, deployer cooperation, and interaction with sectoral incident reporting. Always verify on [EUR-Lex](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=OJ:L_202401689#article-73).

How to satisfy it: Define internal escalation procedures to surface potential serious incidents within hours, not days.
