EU AI Act SME screening checklist

This is a first-pass screen, not a legal classification. Actual risk depends on the system's intended purpose, role and deployment details.

AI Act transparency provisions apply from August 2026. High-risk dates were extended: Annex III from 2 December 2027 and regulated-product systems under Annex I from 2 August 2028.

Select any possible prohibited-practice or high-risk use areas and whether you provide, deploy or both provide and deploy the system.

The flags tell you what to review next. They do not classify your system. A qualified review may be needed, especially for biometric, employment, education, credit or essential-service uses.
