High-risk § II

Under Article 6 AI Act, an AI system shall be considered high-risk in two scenarios. First, if the system is intended to be used as a safety component of a product, or the AI system itself is a product, covered by the Union harmonisation legislation listed in Annex I , and the product whose safety component is the AI system or the AI system itself is required to undergo a third-party conformity assessment, the system will be classified as high-risk pursuant to Article 6(1) AI Act. Second, if the system falls into one of the use cases listed under the areas in Annex III AI Act, it will be classified as high-risk pursuant to Article 6(2) AI Act. Section III below addresses the first category of high-risk AI systems. Section IV below addresses the second category. The following subsections address certain general aspects that apply to the classification of AI systems under both scenarios.
