Tracker Networks Guidance
If your organization manufactures a product covered by Union harmonisation legislation in Annex I Section A and a high-risk AI system is a safety component of that product, Article 25(3) treats the product manufacturer as the provider when the AI system is placed on the market together with the product under the manufacturer's name or trademark, or is put into service under that name or trademark after the product has been placed on the market. When this applies, the manufacturer is subject to the Article 16 provider obligations. Review the Provider obligations in this library as well as the Annex I Section A conformity-assessment requirements.
