- Condition | allRelevant where you are a provider or prospective provider of an innovative AI system that you want to develop, train, test or validate before placing it on the market or putting it into service, and you want up-front certainty about classification or about how you meet the requirements of this Regulation.
- ExceptionParticipation is voluntary. Article 57 places the duty on the Member State to provide a sandbox, not on you to join one. A Member State may also fulfil that duty by participating in an existing sandbox with equivalent national coverage. Article 57(4) leaves other regulatory sandboxes established under Union or national law unaffected.
As long as this exception is not ruled out, the outcome stays conditional and you have to establish it yourself.
