Market Access & Registration
CE Marking and AI Registration
What this control does
Apply required CE marking and complete applicable EU or national AI registration before market placement, service or qualifying use.
How to implement
Identify marking and registration duties separately for the system, actor and route concerned. For applicable provider marking, verify the form, visibility and required identifiers. For registration, select the proper EU, national or restricted route and enter the required information before the relevant activity. Retain confirmation and update records when needed. Article 49 registrations and real-world-testing registrations have different scopes; not every high-risk system belongs in the same public database. Coordinate pre-use checks with the Public-Authority High-Risk AI Registration Check control where appropriate.
Suggested timing and triggers
Before applicable market placement, service, use or testing; when registered or marked information changes.

How to check this control
Choose a system and check which marking and registration duties apply. Compare the actual marking and registry entry with the approved system information and relevant start date. Investigate missing or inconsistent information.
