Article 84 Union AI testing support structures

This short article establishes Union AI testing support structures, which are designated by the Commission to carry out testing-related tasks in the area of AI.

Beyond their core testing functions (which are defined by reference to Regulation (EU) 2019/1020), these structures also serve an advisory role, providing independent technical or scientific advice when called upon by key governance actors.

Important points:

• The Commission is required to designate one or more Union AI testing support structures to carry out AI-related testing tasks.
• These structures can also provide independent technical or scientific advice at the request of the Board, the Commission, or market surveillance authorities.
• The core tasks of these structures are defined by reference to Article 21(6) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020, linking this article to the broader EU market surveillance framework.
