What EU AI Act Article 40 - Harmonised Standards and Presumption of Conformity requires
EU AI Act Regulation 2024/1689 Article 40 establishes that high-risk AI systems complying with harmonised standards adopted pursuant to Regulation (EU) 1025/2012 and cited in the Official Journal are presumed to conform with the corresponding requirements of Chapter III Section 2 (Articles 8-15) - providers can use harmonised standards as the primary technical compliance pathway, with the Commission mandating European standardisation organisations (CEN/CENELEC) to develop AI-specific harmonised standards; where no relevant harmonised standards exist or where standards do not fully cover the requirements, common specifications under Article 41 may supplement or replace the harmonised standard pathway.
