EU AI AI Regulatory Compliance

The EU AI Act is the European Union’s regulation on artificial intelligence, introducing a risk-based approach with obligations that depend on how AI systems are developed, provided, and used.

Overview

Overview of EU AI – AI Regulatory Compliance

QMet provides professional support for EU AI Act readiness, assessment, and compliance implementation.

The EU AI Act is the European Union’s regulation on artificial intelligence, introducing a risk-based approach with obligations that depend on how AI systems are developed, provided, and used. It can apply to organizations outside the EU that place AI systems on the EU market or whose AI outputs are used in the EU. QMet assists organizations in understanding their obligations, classifying their AI systems, and building the governance, documentation, and controls needed to demonstrate compliance.

  1. 01 Step 1 / 4

    AI Act Governance and Accountability

    QMet helps organizations establish clear governance and accountability for EU AI Act compliance. We support determining the organization’s role as provider, deployer, importer, or distributor, and defining policies, responsibilities, and decision-making structures across the organization. We also support AI literacy and awareness initiatives so that staff who develop or use AI understand their responsibilities and the risks involved.

    AI System Inventory and Risk Classification

    A key step in EU AI Act compliance is understanding which AI systems the organization develops, provides, or uses and how each one is classified. QMet assists organizations in creating an AI system inventory and assessing each system against the Act’s risk categories, including prohibited practices, high-risk systems, systems with transparency obligations, and general-purpose AI. This classification determines which obligations apply and forms the foundation for the compliance roadmap.

    High-Risk and Transparency Requirements

    Based on classification results, QMet supports the implementation of the requirements that apply to each system. For high-risk AI systems, we help organizations establish risk management processes, data governance, technical documentation, record-keeping, human oversight, and measures for accuracy, robustness, and cybersecurity. We also help organizations prepare for conformity assessment and registration where required, and for transparency obligations such as informing users when they interact with AI or view AI-generated content.

    Readiness, Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

    QMet supports organizations in assessing readiness through gap assessments and compliance reviews against EU AI Act requirements. We help organizations establish post-market monitoring, incident reporting processes, and regular reviews, and keep track of regulatory developments, guidance, and harmonized standards as they evolve. Findings are used to drive corrective actions and continual improvement, so compliance remains current as AI systems and regulations change.

Who It Affects

Who the EU AI Act Affects?

The obligations are not the same for every organization. They depend on your role.

01

Providers

Organizations that develop AI systems or place them on the market. They need to build compliance into how the system is designed and documented.

02

Deployers

Organizations that use AI systems in their operations. They need to show responsible use and human oversight.

03

Importers & Distributors

Organizations that bring AI systems into the EU market or make them available. They need to verify that the systems meet the required standards.

Scope

Are You In Scope?

Quick self-check

The EU AI Act may apply to your organization, even if it is based outside the EU, if you:

  1. 1Place AI systems or general-purpose AI models on the EU market
  2. 2Use AI systems whose outputs are used in the EU
  3. 3Integrate third-party AI into products or services offered to EU customers
  4. 4Use AI in sensitive areas such as hiring, credit, education, healthcare, or critical infrastructure
  5. 5Supply to customers who are asking for evidence of AI compliance
