What this object links to

Every relation appears below as a path: from the source with its locator, through the conditions and exceptions of the object carrying the relation, to the consequence. A locator belongs to a statement in the data and not to a relation, so the source is the source anchor of the carrying object.

What this object states

Official fact

Attributable to a named primary source, with a locator. Where they differ, the official source prevails.

Article 3(24) defines CE marking as a marking by which a provider indicates that an AI system is in conformity with the requirements set out in Chapter III, Section 2 and other applicable Union harmonisation legislation providing for its affixing.

Our interpretation

Our own reading. It can change without the law changing, and it is not the position of a supervisory authority.

The CE marking is a declaration by the provider itself, not a regulator's seal and not a quality label. It belongs solely to high-risk AI systems, so a supplier presenting CE marking as a selling point for an ordinary chatbot is telling you the wrong story. Conversely, the absence of CE marking is not a shortcoming for a system that is not high-risk. For high-risk systems this becomes relevant from 2 December 2027 for Annex III and 2 August 2028 for Annex I.

Recommended step

A practical step we consider appropriate. Not an obligation following from the Regulation.

For every high-risk AI system, request the EU declaration of conformity that must sit behind the CE marking and keep it in your dossier, together with the system version it relates to. Do not accept a reference to CE marking without the underlying declaration as evidence.
