Serious incident reporting
Article 73 requires providers of high-risk AI to report serious incidents to the relevant market-surveillance authority, generally without undue delay and within set deadlines (as short as immediately, up to 15 days depending on severity).
A serious incident includes death or serious harm to health, serious disruption of critical infrastructure, breach of fundamental-rights obligations, or serious harm to property or the environment.
