Service decision and evidence guide
The acquired DSA Article 13 concerns providers of intermediary services without an establishment in the Union that offer services there. It specifies written designation, location, powers/resources and public contact notification. Establish the intermediary-service role first; an ordinary website description is insufficient.

Sourced criteria · EU
| Decision or task | What the source describes | What to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Does this appointment provision fit the service? | Article 13(1) addresses intermediary-service providers without Union establishment that offer services in the Union. [1] | Document the actual service function, establishment and Member States served before deciding applicability. |
| Where and how is the representative designated? | Written designation of a legal or natural person in a Member State where the provider offers services is specified. [1] | Check location against the actual offering and define the covered legal entity in the mandate. |
| What powers and resources are needed? | Article 13(2) covers receiving and complying with decisions and cooperating with competent authorities, the Commission and Board, with necessary powers and sufficient resources. [1] | Test escalation, decision receipt, evidence access and ability to act; avoid a postal-address-only scope. |
| Which details are notified and published? | Paragraph 4 lists name, postal/email addresses and telephone number notified to the relevant Digital Services Coordinator and kept publicly available and current. [1] | Assign initial notification, public contact maintenance and changes to named owners. |
The appointment does not itself constitute an establishment under Article 13(5). The underlying intermediary-service scope is incomplete and may require specialist legal review.
