Article 6 gains paragraphs 1a to 1c on safety components

Since 27 July 2026 AI systems solely used for non-safety related aspects of user assistance, performance optimisation, service efficiency, automation or convenience or quality control do not qualify as safety components, unless failure or malfunctioning would endanger health and safety. A product required to undergo a third-party assessment only because of radio spectrum or electromagnetic interference that does not affect health and safety does not fulfil the condition in paragraph 1, point (b).
