Article 52: Notification and Re-assessment Procedure
Article 52 requires GPAI providers to notify the Commission without delay, and in any case within two weeks, once their model reaches or is foreseeable to reach the systemic-risk threshold, with the option to submit substantiated arguments against classification. Providers may request re-assessment of a classification decision at the earliest six months after it was made.

- Notify the Commission without delay, and within 14 days at the latest, once the compute threshold is reached or is foreseeable.
- Submit substantiated arguments together with the notification if the provider considers the model does not pose systemic risk despite crossing the threshold.
- Request re-assessment of a systemic-risk classification no earlier than six months after the classification decision, based on new objective grounds.
- Maintain a public list entry, as the Commission publishes and updates the list of GPAI models classified as posing systemic risk, with intellectual-property and trade-secret protections.
- Notification submitted to the Commission within the 14-day window
- Re-assessment request, where applicable
A 90-day window for the Commission to decide on classification after notification is widely repeated online as settled fact; the official AI Act Service Desk text does not confirm this figure, and it should be checked against the EUR-Lex original before being relied on.
Unsettled: The often-cited 90-day decision window for the Commission is sourced only from secondary commentary and was not confirmed in the primary AI Act Service Desk text during the underlying research.
