Designation status

The state of play in Austria

No market surveillance authority designated as of the last verification date. An AI service desk sits in the telecommunications regulator RTR, which is an advisory function rather than an enforcement one.

The deadline in Article 70 for member states to designate their national competent authorities was 2 August 2025. Designation in national law and notification of a single point of contact to the Commission are separate steps, and this register tracks the first. See the full register for how Austria compares.
