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

Providers must run a documented system that keeps tracking how each high-risk system performs after it reaches the market, drawing on deployer feedback and other sources to confirm continued compliance. The effort scales with the technology and its risks, and follows a plan built into the technical documentation using a Commission template due 2 February 2026. Sensitive operational data from law-enforcement deployers is excluded, and equivalent monitoring under sectoral law may be reused.
