- Condition | allApplies to providers of high-risk AI systems. For the standalone Annex III route (Article 6(2)) the date is 2 December 2027. For systems embedded as a safety component in products covered by the Annex I harmonisation legislation (Article 6(1)) the date is 2 August 2028.
- ExceptionA provider that considers an Annex III system not to be high-risk must document that assessment before placing it on the market and remains subject to the registration obligation of Article 49(2) (Article 6(4)). Where an AI system referred to in Annex III performs profiling of natural persons it is always considered high-risk (Article 6(3), final subparagraph).
As long as this exception is not ruled out, the outcome stays conditional and you have to establish it yourself.
