Article 71: EU Database
Article 71 establishes the EU database into which Annex III high-risk systems, and Article 6(3) self-assessments concluding a system is not high-risk, must be registered under Article 49. The Commission maintains the database, which is partly public and partly accessible only to authorities, depending on the entry type.

- Register the required information for Annex III high-risk systems in the EU database before market placement.
- Register Article 6(3) self-assessments, where a provider concludes an Annex III system is not high-risk.
- Keep the registered information accurate and updated as the system evolves.
- Public-sector deployers of high-risk systems should also register their use of the system, per the deployer-side registration duty.
- EU database entry
The EU database is often pictured as a fully public list of compliant high-risk systems; parts of it are restricted to authorities, and it also contains Article 6(3) self-assessments of systems providers have decided are NOT high-risk.
