Regulayer™ / The 156 laws / EU AI Act
EU AI Act · Article 73
Serious-incident reporting.
What the signed record shows
The proof is a signed, tamper-evident record. Anyone can check it, without an account, and nothing has to leave the building to make it. Evidence, not a promise.
When it applies. Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, in force 27 July 2026, defers the Chapter III high-risk classification duties: Annex III stand-alone systems to 2 December 2027, Annex I embedded systems to 2 August 2028. Reporting windows of 15, 10 and 2 days apply once the duty is live for the system in question.
