Conformity assessment

Valutazione di conformità

Conformity assessment is the process by which it is verified and documented that an AI system meets the requirements set by the regulation before being placed on the market or put into service. For high-risk systems governed by the European regulation, it involves checking aspects such as risk management, data quality, transparency, human oversight, accuracy and robustness. Depending on the type of system, the assessment may be carried out by the provider itself through internal controls or require the involvement of an independent body.

Definition

At the end of the process, the provider draws up the technical documentation, issues a declaration of conformity and, where required, affixes the marking attesting compliance. The assessment is not a one-off: it must be updated when the system undergoes substantial changes, maintaining conformity over time.
