Artikel 31 Särskild ordning för vissa databehandlingstjänster


Summary What does Article 31 of the Data act regulation say?

Article 31 carves out specific exemptions from the switching and interoperability obligations established in the preceding articles of this Chapter.

It applies to two narrow categories of data processing services: those that are fully custom-built for an individual customer and not offered at broad commercial scale, and those provided purely for testing and evaluation purposes.

As an exception article, it directly limits the reach of obligations found in Articles 23, 29, and 30, meaning providers of these bespoke or non-production services are not held to the same switching facilitation standards as mainstream commercial providers.

Important points:

  • Providers of data processing services that are custom-built for a single customer and not broadly commercialised are exempt from key switching and interoperability obligations.
  • Data processing services provided as non-production versions for testing and evaluation are also fully exempt from this Chapter's obligations.
  • Providers of data processing services falling under these exemptions are required to inform the prospective customer, before contract conclusion, of which obligations from this Chapter do not apply.

Springlex's summary of the article is a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

    1. De skyldigheter som fastställs i artiklarna 23 d, 29, 30.1 och 30.3 ska inte tillämpas på databehandlingstjänster där de flesta huvudfunktioner har skräddarsytts för att tillgodose en enskild kunds särskilda behov eller där alla komponenter har utvecklats för en enskild kunds räkning, och om dessa databehandlingstjänster inte erbjuds i stor kommersiell skala via tjänstekatalogen hos leverantören av databehandlingstjänster.

    1. De skyldigheter som fastställs i detta kapitel ska inte tillämpas på databehandlingstjänster som tillhandahålls som en icke-produktionsversion för testnings- och utvärderingsändamål och under en begränsad tidsperiod.

    1. Innan ett avtal om tillhandahållande av de databehandlingstjänster som avses i denna artikel ingås ska leverantören av databehandlingstjänster informera den potentiella kunden om vilka skyldigheter i detta kapitel som inte är tillämpliga.
