Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, Article 50
v1.0.0

Article 50 scope map

One risk tier for one system is the wrong shape when you ship twenty. Enter your features and get the per-feature answer: which limb, whose duty, from when.

Article 50 has applied since 2 August 2026. Article 111(4), as added by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, moves the 50(2) marking duty alone to 2 December 2026, and only for systems placed on the market before 2 August 2026. So a feature you shipped in September is late today, while one you shipped in June is late in December. That is the distinction this map exists to draw.

Your features

What does this feature do?

Placed on the market under your own name or trademark?

Article 3(3). If yes, you are the provider whatever model sits underneath, and a provider duty cannot be contracted back upstream. If no, the provider duties below are your vendor's, and we still show them.

Do you also run it yourself?

Article 50(3) and 50(4) bind the deployer. If you only supply the feature to customers, those duties land on them, not on you.

Was it on the market before 2 August 2026?

Article 111(4). Yes moves the 50(2) marking duty to 2 December 2026. No means it applied the day you shipped, with no transition at all.

Assistive editing only, not substantially altering the input?

Article 50(2) does not apply to the extent the system performs an assistive function for standard editing, or does not substantially alter the input data or its semantics.

Does the output constitute a deep fake?

Article 50(4). Generated or manipulated image, audio or video resembling real persons, objects, places or events. Generated media is not automatically a deep fake.

Is the text published to inform the public on matters of public interest?

Article 50(4) second subparagraph. The limb most often missed, because the paragraph is usually summarised as being about deep fakes.

Article 3(3). If yes, you are the provider whatever model sits underneath, and a provider duty cannot be contracted back upstream. If no, the provider duties below are your vendor's, and we still show them.

Is it obvious a person is dealing with AI?

Article 50(1) does not apply where this is obvious to a reasonably well-informed, observant and circumspect person in the circumstances and context of use. A high bar, not a design preference.

This maps a regulation onto what you told it. Whether a limb applies to your product, and whether a carve-out is genuinely met, is a judgement about your product and not legal advice.
