Draft high-risk guidelines and postponed Annex III timeline reviewed

High-risk

The Commission is consulting on draft guidelines for classifying high-risk AI systems. The current implementation material points to 2 December 2027 for Annex III stand-alone high-risk systems and 2 August 2028 for product-embedded Annex I systems.

What changed: The guidance focus is classification: intended purpose, Annex III mapping, Article 6(3), product-embedded systems and overlapping operator roles. It is interpretive guidance, not a replacement for the AI Act text.
Template status: Template review: classification memo and roadmap wording already separate Article 50, Annex III and Annex I dates. No regeneration is required solely because of this consultation unless your use-case mapping changes.
Consultation deadline: 23 July 2026
Customer action: High-risk teams should compare their intended purpose against the draft examples and consider submitting feedback if the examples affect their product category.

Transparency Code opinion published for Article 50 AI-generated content duties

Limited-riskGPAI

The Commission published its opinion on the Code of Practice on Transparency of AI-generated content. The opinion says the code can help implement Article 50(2), 50(4) and 50(5), while adherence is not conclusive evidence of compliance.

What changed: Article 50 customers now have a clearer voluntary reference point for AI disclosure, synthetic-content marking and deepfake labelling evidence.
Template status: Template change: the Compliance Roadmap now prompts Article 50-triggered systems to evaluate the Transparency Code as a voluntary evidence path and to record the decision.
Customer action: If your system uses chatbots, synthetic media or deepfake-style outputs, record whether you will follow the code, another equivalent control set or a documented alternative.

AI Act harmonised-standard work remains in progress

High-risk

CEN-CENELEC work is still underway across AI Act areas such as risk management, data governance, logging, human oversight, accuracy, robustness, cybersecurity, quality management and post-market monitoring.

What changed: The Commission standardisation page identifies active work and highlights prEN 18286 on quality management as a first harmonised-standard candidate entering public enquiry, but high-risk providers should not assume final OJEU-backed standards are already available.
Template status: No template schema change yet. TrustPacket will update Annex IV, QMS and post-market-monitoring prompts when final harmonised standards or official support tools materially change the evidence expected.
Customer action: Map current controls to the expected standard areas now; wait for final standards or official support tools before treating a draft standard as a presumption-of-conformity route.

Public Monitoring demo page published

All tiers

A sample public compliance page is now available so buyers can see the Monitoring output before subscribing: tier, maintained documents, last-reviewed date, template version and recent update history.

What changed: Monitoring now has a concrete public example instead of only a feature description.
Template status: No customer document template change. This is a product-demo and sales-proof update.
Customer action: Review the demo page if you want to see what a vendor-questionnaire link looks like.
