- **Record type**: Obligation
- **Instrument**: Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 — Artificial Intelligence Act
- **Jurisdiction**: European Union
- **Category**: technical_documentation
- **Binding**: Yes
- **Applies from**: 2026-08-02
- **Provision**: Article 6(4); Article 49(2)

## What the duty requires

A provider that considers a system listed in Annex III to be outside the high-risk tier because it meets one of the Article 6(3) conditions, such as performing a narrow procedural task or only preparing a human assessment, must write down that assessment before placing the system on the market or putting it into service, register the system in the EU database under Article 49(2), and hand over the assessment on request from a national competent authority.

## What an organisation does about it

Record a reasoned Article 6(3) assessment in the design file and register the system before launch rather than relying on an informal judgement.
