EU AI Act compliance for companies outside the EU

Yes, when you place an AI system or a general-purpose AI model on the EU market, or when its output is used in the EU. The decisive question is your role: provider, deployer, importer or distributor.

A provider established outside the EU must appoint, by written mandate, an authorised representative in the Union before making a high-risk AI system available on the EU market (Article 22 AI Act) and before placing a general-purpose AI model on the EU market (Article 54 AI Act). We do not act as the representative ourselves; we draft the mandate, prepare the documentation the representative must verify and keep, and help you choose a representative.

Prohibited practices and AI literacy (Articles 5 and 4) since 2 February 2025; rules for general-purpose AI models and penalties since 2 August 2025; transparency obligations of Article 50 since 2 August 2026. The full high-risk regime for Annex III systems applies from 2 December 2027, and for AI in products covered by Annex I from 2 August 2028 (Article 113, as amended in 2026).

The Commission for the Development and Security of Artificial Intelligence (KRiBSI), established by the Polish Act of 3 July 2026 on artificial intelligence systems, is the market surveillance authority and the single point of contact.

Under Article 99 AI Act: up to EUR 35 million or 7% of worldwide annual turnover for prohibited practices, up to EUR 15 million or 3% for other infringements, and up to EUR 7.5 million or 1% for supplying incorrect or misleading information to authorities.
