Guidelines on the classification of high-risk AI systems

The guidelines provide clarifications on the classification and a list of practical examples to support deployers and providers in assessing whether their system is high-risk or not. 

The full draft Guidelines can be consulted in the online draft Guidelines Explorer, and PDF files of the complete draft Guidelines are available here.

Here you can find helpful summaries and examples to clarify what cases are in and out of scope.

The draft Guidelines are open for stakeholder feedback through a public consultation via EU Survey before their formal adoption by the Commission. The consultation will be open until 23 July, 2026.
