Roughly three months of work for an internal compliance team, or 45 minutes with AICheck if your information is already gathered. The order matters: classification first, then documentation, then operational systems.
The general application date is 2 August 2026 under Art. 113. Only Art. 6(1) (AI as safety component of Annex I products) is deferred to 2 August 2027. The bulk of high-risk obligations, transparency under Art. 50, FRIA under Art. 27 and Art. 26 deployer obligations apply from 2 August 2026.
Art. 4 (AI literacy) is in Chapter I and has been in force since 2 February 2025 under Art. 113(a). It applies to both providers and deployers, for staff and other persons dealing with the operation and use of AI systems on their behalf. Penalties under Chapter XII applied from 2 August 2025.
Article 11 + Annex IV is exhaustive at the level of the 9 documentation blocks. Article 17 specifies 13 QMS aspects. The structure does not depend on additional Commission guidance — the regulation is directly applicable in all Member States from the dates in Art. 113. Waiting is not a compliance strategy.
