Risk classification under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 is binary: a system is either in scope of an article, or it is not. There are no grey zones in the text itself. You walk the tree top-down: first Art. 5 (prohibited — eliminate), then Art. 6(1) (safety component of Annex I product) and Art. 6(2) + Annex III (8 high-risk domains), then Art. 6(3) derogation if applicable, then Art. 50 transparency obligations, and finally Art. 4 AI literacy which applies in every case. AICheck produces the Risk Classification Report that documents your decision against the regulation.

You must walk the tree in order. A "yes" at an earlier step changes everything downstream — and you must document the decision before placing the system on the market (Art. 6(4) for Annex III).
Art. 5 (prohibited practices) applies to everyone — there is no Annex III exemption. Art. 4 (AI literacy) applies to every provider and deployer. Art. 50 transparency applies to chatbots, synthetic content and deep fakes regardless of high-risk status. "Outside Annex III" only means you escape Chapter III, Section 2 — not the whole regulation.
Annex III is regulatory, not discretionary. The provider documents whether the system fits a category, but cannot reclassify a credit-scoring system out of Annex III 5(b) by labelling it differently. Only the Art. 6(3) derogation allows downgrading, and the provider's assessment must be documented and produced on request (Art. 6(4)).
No. Even if your Annex III system is non-high-risk under Art. 6(3), you must still document the assessment before placing on market (Art. 6(4)) and register the system in the EU database (Art. 49(2)). And if the system profiles natural persons, the derogation is unavailable — the system is always high-risk.
