What this object states

Official fact

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

The Commission draft guidelines of 19 May 2026 address this case when determining whether AI as a safety component falls under the Annex I product legislation. The document is a consultation version: non-binding and not yet final.

Our interpretation

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

Being a consumer or household product excludes nothing; substantiate that a malfunction leads at most to discomfort or a higher energy bill, and pay particular attention to children and vulnerable users.
