These Regulations designate Ireland's national competent authority, market surveillance authorities and notifying authorities under the EU AI Act. They create no independent duty on a developer or deployer to create, keep or produce a log or record; any documentation duty a regulated party owes, and any power a designated authority may exercise, comes from the AI Act's own text rather than from this designation instrument.
