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

Before an Annex III high-risk system is placed on the market or put into service, the provider or its authorised representative must register both itself and the system in the EU database. The same registration applies where a provider concludes an Annex III system is not high-risk under Article 6(3). Public-authority deployers must register themselves and their use. Law-enforcement, migration, asylum and border entries sit in a restricted non-public section with limited data; critical-infrastructure systems are registered nationally.
