Conformity Assessment

The formal process by which a high-risk AI system is evaluated against the requirements of the EU AI Act before being placed on the market. Depending on the risk category, assessment may be self-conducted or require a third-party notified body.

AI Notified Body

An independent third-party organisation designated by an EU Member State to conduct conformity assessments of high-risk AI systems. Not all high-risk AI requires a notified body—many categories allow self-assessment—but systems used in critical infrastructure or law enforcement typically do not.

High-Risk AI System

An AI system classified under the EU AI Act as posing significant risks to health, safety, or fundamental rights. High-risk systems must undergo conformity assessment, maintain technical documentation, enable human oversight, and be registered in an EU database before market deployment.
