1. Before making a high-risk AI system available on the market, distributors shall verify that the high-risk AI system bears the CE marking of conformity, that it is accompanied by the required documentation and instructions for use and that the provider and, as appropriate, the importer have complied with their obligations under Articles 16 and 23 respectively.

2. Where a distributor considers or has reason to consider, on the basis of the information in its possession, that a high-risk AI system is not in conformity with the requirements set out in Section 2, the distributor shall not make the high-risk AI system available on the market until the system has been brought into conformity with those requirements.

3. Distributors that consider or have reason to consider that a high-risk AI system which they have made available on the market is not in conformity with this Regulation shall take the corrective actions necessary to bring that system into conformity with those requirements, to withdraw it or recall it.

4. Distributors shall, upon a reasoned request from a national competent authority, provide it with all the information and documentation regarding the high-risk AI system that is necessary to demonstrate conformity with the requirements set out in Section 2.
