Application of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 is staged. Article 113 sets four key dates: 2 February 2025 (Chapters I and II — general provisions and prohibited practices), 2 August 2025 (Chapters V, VII, XII — GPAI, governance, penalties), 2 August 2026 (general application — Annex III high-risk, Art. 50 transparency, Art. 27 FRIA), and 2 August 2027 (Art. 6(1) — AI as safety component of Annex I products). Article 111 adds transitional provisions for AI systems already on the market before those dates. AICheck's Compliance Calendar tracks each date against your specific system.

The timeline is built from Article 113 (Entry into force and application) and Article 111 (Transitional provisions for pre-existing systems). The Regulation entered into force on 1 August 2024, twenty days after publication in the Official Journal on 12 July 2024.
The general application date is 2 August 2026 under Art. 113, second paragraph. Only Art. 6(1) (AI as safety component of Annex I products) is deferred to 2 August 2027 under Art. 113(c). The Annex III high-risk obligations, transparency under Art. 50, deployer obligations under Art. 26, and FRIA under Art. 27 all apply from 2 August 2026.
Chapter XII (Penalties) applies from 2 August 2025 under Art. 113(b). Once a penalty article is in force, any breach of an obligation that is itself already in force can be fined. Since the Art. 5 prohibitions apply from 2 February 2025, breaches of Art. 5 can attract Art. 99(3) fines from 2 August 2025.
Art. 111(2): operators of high-risk AI systems (other than Annex X large-scale IT systems) placed on the market or put into service before 2 August 2026 must comply with this Regulation if, as from that date, the system is subject to significant changes in its design. Public-authority deployments have a separate deadline of 2 August 2030. There is no permanent grandfathering.
