The rule set behind your result

Your screening is produced by a deterministic rules engine, not a model. This page states which version of that rule set is live, which law it was checked against, and what changed in each revision, so a result can be read against the rules that produced it.

Rule set version
v1.8
Law as at
1 Aug 2026

What it is built on

  • Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the EU AI Act), in force since 1 Aug 2024.
  • Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 (the Digital Omnibus on AI), published in the Official Journal on 24 Jul 2026 and in force since 27 Jul 2026. Where the two differ, the amended text is the one applied.
  • The Annexes and Recitals as amended, and the Commission guidelines published to date. Draft guidance is treated as non-binding and is flagged where it is relied on.

What changed, and when

v1.8 4 Aug 2026

  • The biometrics question now asks whether the system recognises or infers people's emotions (Annex III point 1(c)). It was missing, so a system inferring emotions outside the workplace and education could be told it was not high-risk when the Act says it is.

v1.7 2 Aug 2026

  • When determinative questions are still unanswered, your result now says so plainly: the class is named at its worst case rather than stated as settled, and the next steps are held back until you close them.
  • Your obligations are never hidden while a result is provisional. They are relabelled as what would apply if the open questions resolve the worst way, and answering can only narrow the list.
  • Every open question, and every follow-up task, now links straight to the question that raised it.
  • You can re-assess a system without deleting it. Your previous answers are carried over, you are asked to confirm before the stored assessment is replaced, and the old one stays in the system's history.
  • The downloadable report no longer states a verdict as settled when the screen has declined to.
  • Fixed: un-checking a prohibited practice you had ticked no longer records that none of them apply.

v1.6 2 Aug 2026

  • The eight prohibited practices (Art. 5) are now one screen instead of eight, and you can mark any of them 'not sure' rather than having to answer yes or no.
  • The scope question split in two: whether the system is placed on the EU market, and whether its OUTPUT is used in the EU. A system built outside the EU whose output lands here stays in scope.
  • The NCII question split into intent, reproducibility and safeguards, so a 'no' now says which of the three you are relying on.
  • The Annex I question split into three, separating the product legislation, the safety-component test and the third-party conformity assessment.
  • The Annex III high-risk areas are now asked by sub-limb, so your result names the specific point of Annex III that applies rather than the area.
  • The Art. 25 substantial-modification question separates the change itself from whether it was foreseen in the original design.
  • Every question about the AI-Act role you hold now asks it once, and the questions that follow are the ones that bind that role.

v1.5 2 Aug 2026

  • You can now hold several operator roles at once, and your result shows every one of them with the duties attached to each.
  • A substantial modification (Art. 25) now ADDS the provider's duties to the ones you already held, instead of replacing them.
  • The four Art. 50 transparency questions are asked by role: providers are asked about 50(1) and 50(2), deployers about 50(3) and 50(4).
  • Added a 'not sure which role we hold' answer. It raises the question for legal review and, until it is resolved, applies both the provider and the deployer duties.

v1.4 2 Aug 2026

  • Added the AI-literacy question (Art. 4) and the training follow-up it raises.
  • Added the Art. 111 transitional band, so a system already on the market before general application is told which timeline binds it.
  • Added the Art. 25(4) component-supply question, which raises the provider's information duty to a downstream integrator.
  • Added the Art. 54 authorised-representative question and the Art. 53 systemic-risk follow-up for GPAI-model providers.
  • Added the Art. 6(1c) carve-out to the Annex I question: a product whose only third-party conformity trigger is a non-health-and-safety risk is no longer routed as high-risk on that basis alone. It requires supporting evidence.
  • Your result and its export now state the intended purpose they were assessed against.

v1.3 1 Aug 2026

  • A result now says how much of the determinative questionnaire it rests on, and which questions were left as Don't know.
  • S-03 (the Art. 2 carve-outs) gained a Don't-know, and a Don't-know there no longer takes the system out of scope.
  • Corrected the safety-component definition to the narrowed Omnibus test, and added the provider, deployer, intended-purpose and substantial-modification terms.
  • Dropped the projected question total, which shrank as the walk narrowed, and labelled stages the walk skipped.
  • Added the Annex I equivalence note, the SME penalty cap on prohibited results, and a Don't-know note carried onto the follow-up task and the export.

v1.2 1 Aug 2026

  • Rewrote the question stems in plain language and separated our reading of a provision from the statute itself.
  • Reframed every result headline as an indicative classification, stating the answers it rests on.
  • Added the Art. 27(2) FRIA timing, the Annex VIII Section B filing, and the SME/SMC definitions and reliefs.

v1.1 1 Aug 2026

  • Put Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 (Digital Omnibus on AI) in force: the amended dates below are now the binding ones.
  • Relabelled the timeline columns so the binding column and the superseded 2024/1689 column are unambiguous.

v1.0 12 Jul 2026

  • First published rule set: the post-Omnibus screening engine and its nine result nodes.

What this page is not

This is a screening aid, not legal advice, and it is not an audit. Member States may adopt stricter national rules, and a determination can change on facts you have not given us. Where a question was left as Don't know, the result says so.
