Relying on the exception requires documentation and registration

The exception is a provider self-assessment, but not a free pass. The draft sets out four mandatory components of the assessment and links registration and supervision to it.

The official source remains authoritative. This is general information about obligations and not legal advice. See this object on the map

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.

The draft guidelines of 19 May 2026 are not binding and describe in paragraphs 113 to 117 that applying the filter mechanism depends on a provider self-assessment, that the assessment must be documented before the system is placed on the market or put into service, and that the system must be registered in the EU database under Article 71 to ensure traceability of exempted systems. Under the draft, the assessment must contain four components: a description of the intended purpose, a description of why the system would qualify as high-risk under Article 6(2), a description of which condition or conditions of Article 6(3) are considered to apply and why, and a description of why the system does not perform profiling. The record must be available at any time on request of the market surveillance authority, and the draft encourages deployers to verify use of the exception in the Article 71 database as part of their due diligence. The draft further notes that market surveillance authorities may under Article 80 evaluate the classification, require the system to be brought into compliance and demand corrective action, and may impose penalties under Article 99 where a system was misclassified to circumvent the high-risk requirements.

Our interpretation

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

The exemption shifts the work, it does not remove it. You trade the full Chapter III regime for a documented and publicly traceable justification that a supervisor can request and challenge. For deployers, the database is conversely a procurement check.

Recommended step

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

Build one fixed template covering the four mandatory components and date the assessment before market introduction. In procurement, always ask whether the supplier relies on Article 6(3) and whether that appears in the Article 71 database.
