1Conformity assessments of high-risk AI systems pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 can require the involvement of conformity assessment bodies. 2Only conformity assessment bodies that have been designated pursuant to that Regulation are able to carry out conformity assessments, and only for the activities related to the categories and types of AI systems concerned. 3To enable the specification of the scope of the designation of conformity assessment bodies notified pursuant to Article 30 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, it is necessary to draw up a list of codes, categories, and corresponding types of AI systems. 4The list of codes should take into account whether the AI system is a component of a product or itself a product covered by the Union harmonisation legislation listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (referred to as ‘AIP codes’, for AI systems covered by product legislation), or a system listed in Annex III to that Regulation, which currently concerns only biometric AI systems referred to in point (1) of Annex III (referred to as ‘AIB codes’, for biometric AI systems). 5Both AIP codes and AIB codes are vertical codes. 6The AIP codes are reference codes that provide a link to the Union harmonisation legislation listed in Section A of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. 7The AIB codes are new codes specific to Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 that identify biometric AI systems referred to in point (1) of Annex III to that Regulation. 8The list of codes should also take into account specific types and underlying technologies of AI systems (referred to as ‘AIH codes’, for horizontal AI system codes). 9The AIH codes are new AI technology-specific codes and can be applied in conjunction with AIP or AIB vertical codes. 10The AIH codes cover the underlying types and technologies of AI systems. 11The list of codes, comprising three categories, should provide for a multi-dimensional typology of AI systems which ensures that conformity assessment bodies designated as notified bodies are fully competent in regard to the AI systems they are required to assess.
