## In brief

Complete conformity assessment, CE marking and EU database registration is a legal requirement under the EU AI Act in the European Union (Articles 43, 47, 48 and 49; Annex VIII). It applies from 2 December 2027. The record carries 2 evidence examples and mappings to 1 framework.

## What the duty requires

Before placing a high-risk system on the market, providers must complete the applicable conformity assessment (internal control or notified-body assessment depending on the system), draw up an EU declaration of conformity, affix the CE marking, and register the system in the EU database. Deployers that are public authorities must also register their use of Annex III systems.

## What an organisation does about it

Determine the assessment route early; notified-body capacity may be limited around application dates.
