PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY — ORIGINAL INTERPRETATION, NOT THE OFFICIAL TEXT

For each high-risk system, its provider must draw up a written EU declaration of conformity stating that the system meets the Act's requirements, and keep it available to national authorities for ten years. The declaration identifies the system and carries the details set out in Annex V, translated where needed. Where other Union law also requires a declaration, a single combined document may cover everything. By signing, the provider assumes responsibility for compliance.
