How to do it
AI Act Article 73 makes providers report a serious incident to the market surveillance authority where it happened. The report is due within 15 days of learning of it, within 10 days after a death, and within 2 days for a widespread incident. The 2-day limit also covers an incident that disrupts critical infrastructure. A serious incident includes death or serious harm to health, serious harm to property or the environment, and a breach of fundamental rights. Compute the dates with the other clocks, as Start every reporting clock from one moment says. The start date follows the high-risk duties in Find out if a feature is high-risk.
How to check
A unit test opens an incident flagged ai_act and death with awareness on 1 March 2028. The tool shows the report due on 11 March 2028. The obligations register names the authority and two people who can report.
