Article 6 has two separate routes to high-risk
An AI system can be high-risk in two ways. Either it is itself a product, or a safety component of a product, covered by the Annex I product legislation and that product must undergo third-party conformity assessment (Article 6(1)). Or it falls within one of the use cases listed in Annex III (Article 6(2)). The two routes have their own criteria and their own application dates.
