What is conformity assessment?
Conformity assessment: A process by which a provider demonstrates that a product meets the legal requirements before it is placed on the market. Under the EU AI Act, high-risk AI systems must pass one, sometimes checked by an independent body, before receiving the CE marking.
Conformity assessment: an example
Before selling a medical-triage AI in the EU, its maker documents testing and risk controls and completes the required conformity procedure.
