Integrating AI Act requirements into existing risk and quality systems

The AI Act allows you to add AI-specific risks to your existing risk management and quality management systems, so that you can work within a single compliance framework.

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.

According to the draft guidelines of 19 May 2026, which are expressly published as a draft for stakeholder feedback and have no binding force, the AI Act provides mechanisms to reduce the compliance burden for economic operators. The draft guidelines cite Article 8(2) AI Act on the interplay with sectoral legislation, Article 9(10) AI Act on risk management and Article 17(3) AI Act on quality management, which allow economic operators to add, where necessary and appropriate, an assessment of AI-specific risks to already existing risk and quality management systems. Article 40 AI Act further requires that harmonised standards under the AI Act be consistent with standards developed under the Annex I harmonisation legislation. The draft guidelines state that these mechanisms enable economic operators to meet both the AI Act and the harmonisation legislation within a single compliance framework, thereby avoiding duplication of effort while maintaining a high level of protection of health, safety and fundamental rights.

Our interpretation

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

This is the most reassuring point in the entire chapter, and at the same time the most underused. Manufacturers who already have a mature quality management system, for instance under a sectoral standard, do not need to set up a second system alongside it. You extend what is already there. That saves not only cost but above all the fragmentation in which your AI file becomes detached from your product file and the two start contradicting each other during an audit. The practical gain lies in a shared risk register in which AI risks are included as a category, not as a separate document.

Recommended step

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

Extend your existing risk register and quality manual with an AI chapter instead of building a parallel AI management system. Appoint an owner who manages both the sectoral file and the AI file, so that changes to the product automatically touch the AI assessment.
