New mandatory requirements
The AI Act introduces risk-based requirements. Prohibitions and AI-literacy obligations have applied since February 2025, and rules for general-purpose AI models since August 2025; further requirements apply from August 2026. Following the AI Omnibus, the Commission states extended deadlines for high-risk applications: 2 December 2027 for certain application areas and 2 August 2028 for systems embedded in regulated products. Not every AI function makes machinery a high-risk AI system.
Existing obligations
Product-safety, data-protection and contractual requirements may apply independently of the AI Act. The AI Act does not replace their separate assessment.
An optional digital capability
Risk management, technical AI documentation, data information, logging, human oversight, change states and instructions for use can be organised in a chosen evidence structure. Roboterausweis is not a mandated register.
New role and responsibility consequences
Providers and deployers have different responsibilities. Modifications and marketing under one’s own name can require a reassessment of the role. The platform determines neither risk class nor legal role.
No autonomous product decision
Roboterausweis supports documentation. It does not intervene in autonomous decisions, safety functions or machine controls. Classification and specialist assessment remain with the company.
