Market surveillance and CE marking
Rules mean little without someone testing them. The market surveillance regulation gives authorities their powers, notified bodies handle assessment in some cases, and the penalty rules decide what a failure costs. This page sets out the chain.

Before placing on the market
- Conformity assessment runs either internally or through a notified body, depending on risk class and sectoral rules.
- The EU declaration of conformity and the CE marking are the result, not the starting point.
- Registration in the Union database is required for high-risk systems before they are put into service.
In operation
- The market surveillance authority can demand documentation, test the product and ultimately require withdrawal.
- Serious incidents must be reported within the deadlines applying to the sector and to the AI Act.
- Post-market monitoring is a continuing duty, not a one-off report.
Consequences
- AI Act penalties are graded: highest for prohibited practices, lower for breaches of obligations, lowest for supplying incorrect information to an authority.
- The levels are set nationally within the ceiling, and the supervisory authority is designated by the member state.
- Whoever can show what applied at the time stands stronger in any such case, hence a reading date and hash per node.
The NovaCopilot models
The decision model
In: A role, a legal act and the situation in plain words.
Out: The obligations that reach the role, the article behind them and what remains.
When: When the question is whether a requirement applies to you, and why.
The difference model
In: A checksum already used and the date of the last reading.
Out: What changed since then: checksum, reading date, passed deadline and rows to revisit.
When: When earlier work is reused and has to be checked first.
The obligation model
In: A legal act or an article, with or without a role filter.
Out: The obligation in the register's wording, the role it reaches, canonical address and reading date.
When: When the answer has to be citable article by article.
Example for an agent
curl -s "https://legal.exploreworldai.com/novacopilot/eu-marknadskontroll?format=agent"- canonical, the address to cite
- node_hash, the checksum for the next comparison
- corpus_version, the corpus version that answered
- freshness.read_at, the reading date of the row
- freshness.next_check, when a new check is reasonable
- citation.string, the finished citation
- agent.receipt, the receipt of the call, without a key

FAQ
- Is a notified body always required?
- No. Internal control suffices for many high-risk systems. A notified body is required for biometric systems among others, and wherever sectoral rules already demand one.
- What if the documentation is missing?
- Absence of documentation is itself treated as a breach. The authority can order corrective action, restrict supply or impose a fine.
- How do I prove the legal position at an earlier date?
- With corpus version, hash and reading date. The EU layer was last re-read on 2026-08-31, and every earlier re-reading sits in the change log.
