# Article 47 - EU declaration of conformity

1.
The provider shall draw up a written machine readable, physical or electronically signed EU declaration of conformity 
for each high-risk AI system, and keep it at the disposal of the national competent authorities for 10 years after the 
high-risk AI system has been placed on the market or put into service. The EU declaration of conformity shall identify the 
high-risk AI system for which it has been drawn up. A copy of the EU declaration of conformity shall be submitted to the 
relevant national competent authorities upon request.

2.
The EU declaration of conformity shall state that the high-risk AI system concerned meets the requirements set out in 
Section 2. The EU declaration of conformity shall contain the information set out in Annex V, and shall be translated into 
a language that can be easily understood by the national competent authorities of the Member States in which the high-risk 
AI system is placed on the market or made available.
3.
Where high-risk AI systems are subject to other Union harmonisation legislation which also requires an EU 
declaration of conformity, a single EU declaration of conformity shall be drawn up in respect of all Union law applicable to 
the high-risk AI system. The declaration shall contain all the information required to identify the Union harmonisation 
legislation to which the declaration relates.
4.
By drawing up the EU declaration of conformity, the provider shall assume responsibility for compliance with the 
requirements set out in Section 2. The provider shall keep the EU declaration of conformity up-to-date as appropriate.
5.
The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 97 in order to amend Annex V by 
updating the content of the EU declaration of conformity set out in that Annex, in order to introduce elements that become 
necessary in light of technical progress.
