Deadlines and classification: research as of 19 October 2026, compiled from the official texts. The official text in its currently applicable version prevails.

Classification.

Legal obligation

  • Providers design AI systems intended to interact with natural persons so that the persons are informed that they are interacting with an AI system, unless this is obvious (Art. 50(1)).
  • Providers of AI systems that generate synthetic audio, image, video or text content mark the outputs in a machine-readable format as artificially generated or manipulated (Art. 50(2)).
  • From 2 December 2027 (high-risk systems under Annex III) or 2 August 2028 (under Annex I) the name or trade mark and the contact address of the provider of a high-risk AI system are given on the system or, if that is not possible, on its packaging or accompanying documentation (Art. 16(b)).

Permitted digital option

  • For high-risk AI systems provided digitally, a digital CE marking is used only if it can be easily accessed via the interface through which the system is accessed, via an easily accessible machine-readable code or other electronic means (Art. 48(2)).

PreQ recommendation

  • We recommend aligning notes on AI-supported functions and digital access (for example a QR code to the provider details) with the product data sheet, and following the application stages in the monitor: the dates for high-risk systems were postponed in 2026.

A fitting topic does not mean that a QR code is mandatory or may replace mandatory particulars on the product. The monitor is not a substitute for legal advice.
