CLAIM-2026-09-01-03

AI Act Article 6(1) classifies an AI system as high-risk where it is intended to be used as a safety component of a product, or is itself a product, covered by Union harmonisation legislation listed in Annex I, and that product is required to undergo third-party conformity assessment.

Why it matters

An agent that enforces a device's declared safety limits meets condition (a) by description, without anyone deciding to build a high-risk system.
