Current implementation dates and enforcement

Use the current legal timetable rather than outdated training dates.

Learn

The general AI Act application date is 2 August 2026, but the consolidated law contains staggered dates for different provisions.

Following the 2026 amendment, Chapter III Sections 1-3 apply from 2 December 2027 for Article 6(2)/Annex III high-risk systems and from 2 August 2028 for Article 6(1)/Annex I product-related high-risk systems.

Always date-stamp legal timeline advice because amendments and guidance can change implementation planning.

Remember

•Current dates matter.
•Annex III: 2 Dec 2027 for the relevant high-risk provisions.
•Annex I: 2 Aug 2028 for the relevant high-risk provisions.

Client practice

Review a project plan that still says 'all high-risk rules apply 2 August 2026'. Write the correction note.
