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

Where an authority suspects that a system its provider labelled non-high-risk is in fact high-risk, it must assess the classification against the Act's criteria and the Commission's guidelines. Confirming high-risk, it orders the provider to bring the system into compliance and correct it within a set period, alerting other Member States in cross-border cases. Providers that fail to comply, or that misclassified to evade the rules, face fines under Article 99.
