PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY — ORIGINAL INTERPRETATION, NOT THE OFFICIAL TEXT

High-risk AI systems must meet all the requirements in this section, judged against their intended purpose and the current state of the art, with the risk management system feeding that assessment. Where a system is also part of a product covered by listed EU harmonisation law, the provider must ensure full compliance across both regimes. To avoid duplication, the provider may fold the Act's testing, documentation and reporting into processes those existing laws already require.
