Placing on the Market
The first making available of an AI system or general-purpose AI model on the EU market, triggering compliance obligations.
Definition
A broad concept covering making models available in the Union market by any technical means, regardless of whether the provider is established in the Union or a third country; it triggers applicability of EU obligations and, for non‑EU providers, the requirement to appoint an authorised representative in the Union prior to market placement.
