# Recital (130)

Under certain conditions, rapid availability of innovative technologies may be crucial for health and safety of 
persons, the protection of the environment and climate change and for society as a whole. It is thus appropriate that 
under exceptional reasons of public security or protection of life and health of natural persons, environmental 
protection and the protection of key industrial and infrastructural assets, market surveillance authorities could 
authorise the placing on the market or the putting into service of AI systems which have not undergone 
a conformity assessment. In duly justified situations, as provided for in this Regulation, law enforcement authorities 
or civil protection authorities may put a specific high-risk AI system into service without the authorisation of the 
market surveillance authority, provided that such authorisation is requested during or after the use without undue 
delay.
