Template
EU AI Act Article 22 - Authorised Representative Template
Article 22 matters only where the provider is established outside the Union. In that case the provider must appoint an authorised representative in the Union by written mandate. This page is not a separate role workflow. It is a conditional provider-side record that sits next to the rest of the provider package.

Who supplies what
What Article 22 expects, what the template can add, and what your team still owns
Use this page only when the provider is established outside the Union. The template structures the record of the authorised representative and the written mandate. It does not replace the actual mandate or the representative's own legal duties.
| Article 22 expects | What the template can add | What your team still has to write | Practical output to keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| An authorised representative established in the Union | A section that records the named representative and mandate reference. | Name the representative and record the exact mandate used. | An authorised-representative record. |
| A written mandate from the provider | A place to record the mandate reference and scope. | Record the signed mandate reference, date, and scope used in practice. | A mandate reference note. |
| A clear boundary between provider duties and representative duties | A field for the provider-side explanation of how Article 22 is handled. | Record which materials the representative keeps available and how authority cooperation is routed. | A provider-side Article 22 note. |
Manual fields
What your team still adds to Article 22
This page is only needed when the provider is established outside the Union. The template can structure the record, but your team still has to provide the representative identity, written mandate, and the actual coordination path.
| What you add | Why it is required | Practical format to use |
|---|---|---|
| Authorised representative identity | Article 22 requires a representative established in the Union. | A short note naming the representative and contact details. |
| Written mandate reference | Article 22 requires the representative to act under a written mandate from the provider. | A mandate reference with date and version. |
| Provider-to-representative coordination path | The representative has to be able to keep documentation and cooperate with authorities under the mandate. | A short note naming the documentation handoff and authority-contact path. |
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the Article 22 - Authorised Representative template page for?
This page explains what the Article 22 - Authorised Representative template section usually needs to cover inside an EU AI Act package, which parts can be supported by structured evidence, and which parts remain owned by the provider, deployer, or legal reviewer.
Does this Article 22 - Authorised Representative template page create a complete EU AI Act package?
No. It is one section-level guide. A review-ready package still needs the selected role and scope, the other applicable article-level sections, linked technical evidence, owner completion, and final human review.
What evidence should be linked to the Article 22 - Authorised Representative template section?
Use evidence that is current, traceable to the relevant system version, and connected to real runs, retained records, or approved procedures. A weak package relies only on narrative text; a stronger package links the narrative to reproducible artifacts.
Who should review the Article 22 - Authorised Representative template section before handoff?
The technical owner should confirm the system facts and evidence links, while compliance or legal reviewers confirm whether the section is sufficient for the selected EU AI Act role, scope, and conformity path.
