Article 48: CE Marking | EU AI Act

Article 48 of the AI Act provides useful information related to CE marking. CE marking will be subject to the general principles established under Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008.

A digital CE marking must be used for high-risk AI systems provided digitally only if they can be easily accessed through the interface from which that system is accessed or through easily accessible machine-readable code or other electronic means.

The CE marking must be visible, legible, and indelible for all high-risk AI systems. If this is not possible owing to the nature of the systems, it should be affixed to the packing or the accompanying documentation.

Wherever applicable, the CE marking must be accompanied by an identification number of the notified body responsible for carrying out the conformity assessment procedures established per Article 43. This identification number of the notified body will also be affixed to the system itself or under the instructions. Additionally, the identification number should be included in any promotional material that mentions the high-risk AI system’s compliance with CE marking.

In cases where the high-risk AI systems are subject to other Union law that requires CE marking, the CE marking should indicate that the system also fulfills the requirements of that law.
