Standardisation
Standardisation of the EU AI Act
The European Commission promotes harmonized standards for high-risk AI systems to ensure legal certainty and set global benchmarks. CEN and CENELEC are developing standards in ten key areas, including risk management and transparency. Application remains voluntary but offers compliance advantages under the AI Act.

Why it matters
Organisations, especially providers of high-risk AI systems, benefit from clear standards to comply with the AI Act and facilitate market access.
