Proposal for a regulation

Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 30 - point a

Regulation (EU) 2024/1689

Article 111 – paragraph 2 – second subparagraph (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

2 a. in Article 111(2), the following second subparagraph is inserted:

For the purposes of the first subparagraph, where at least one unit of a high-risk AI system of a given type and model has been lawfully placed on the market or put into service before that date, other units of the same type and model may continue to be placed on the market, made available on the market or put into service without complying with the requirements of this Regulation, provided that no substantial modification is made to that AI system.

Or. en

Justification

This amendment embeds the clarification set out by the Commission in Recital 21 directly into Article 111(2), ensuring legal certainty as regards the scope of the transitional regime for high-risk AI systems. It clarifies that the grace period applies to systems of the same type and model placed on the market before the relevant date, while maintaining full compliance obligations in cases of substantial modification. This clarification is particularly important for AI systems involving significant investment and long life-cycles.
