In order to ensure legal certainty, ensure an appropriate adaptation period
for operators and avoid disruption to the market, including by ensuring continuity of the use of
AI systems, it is appropriate that this Regulation applies to the high-risk AI systems that have
been placed on the market or put into service before the general date of application thereof,
only if, from that date, those systems are subject to significant changes in their design or
intended purpose. It is appropriate to clarify that, in this respect, the concept of significant
change should be understood as equivalent in substance to the notion of substantial
modification, which is used with regard only to high-risk AI systems pursuant to this
Regulation. On an exceptional basis and in light of public accountability, operators of AI
systems which are components of the large-scale IT systems established by the legal acts listed
in an annex to this Regulation and operators of high-risk AI systems that are intended to be
used by public authorities should, respectively, take the necessary steps to comply with the
requirements of this Regulation by end of 2030 and by 2 August 2030.
