Original title:First harmonised standard supporting the AI Act published in the Official Journal

What happened

The European Commission published the reference to EN 18286:2026, the first harmonised standard supporting the AI Act, in the Official Journal. Providers of high-risk AI systems who follow it get a presumption of conformity with the covered Article 17 quality management requirements.

Who is affected

  • Providers of high-risk AI systems in the EU
  • Firms selling AI-enabled products into the EU

What to do

If you offer high-risk AI in the EU, review EN 18286 and consider how it fits with your existing QMS such as ISO/IEC 42001 or ISO 9001. Others need no action.
