Article 48: CE Marking for High-Risk AI Systems

provider · high risk · Article 48

Article 48 requires the CE marking to be affixed to high-risk AI systems to indicate conformity with the Regulation. The marking must be affixed visibly, legibly, and indelibly to the AI system or, where not possible, to its packaging or accompanying documentation. The CE marking is subject to the general principles in Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 (the NLF accreditation and market surveillance regulation). For AI systems that are purely digital (no physical product), the CE marking appears in the digital documentation or user interface.

How to satisfy it: Complete conformity assessment (Article 43) and issue EU declaration (Article 47) before affixing CE marking.
