Article 49 of the AI Act provides information related to the registration of high-risk AI systems.

Before placing a high-risk AI system on the market or putting it into service, the provider or the authorized representative must register themselves and their system in the EU database as described under Article 71.

Before making a system available on the market or putting it into service, if the provider has concluded that it does not qualify as high-risk per Article 6, the provider or, if applicable, the authorized representative must register themselves and their system in the EU database as described under Article 71.

Before putting a high-risk AI system on the market or into service, except those listed in point II of Annex III, deployers that are public authorities, institutions, bodies, offices or agencies or persons acting on behalf of such bodies must register themselves, the system and its uses in the EU database as described under Article 71.

For high-risk AI systems referred to in points 1, 6, and 7 of Annex III related to law enforcement, migration, and asylum and border control management, the registration must be done under a secure non-public section of the EU database as described under Article 71 with only the following applicable information:

• Section B, points 1 to 5, and points 8 and 9 of Annex VIII;
• Section C, points 1 to 3, of Annex VIII;

Only the Commission and the national authorities referred to in Article 74(8) will have access to the restricted sections of the EU database.
