What are the EU AI Act risk tiers?

The EU AI Act defines four risk tiers: unacceptable (prohibited), high (strictest obligations), limited (transparency obligations), and minimal (no mandatory obligations). The classifier assigns your system to one of these.

When does the EU AI Act apply?

Current EU guidance lists 2 August 2026 for most AI Act rules, with high-risk systems embedded in regulated products following on 2 August 2027.

Is the classification legal advice?

No. GeraCompliance provides structured compliance guidance, not legal advice or a notified-body assessment. Results should be reviewed by qualified counsel before external reliance.
