Third-Party Notified Body Assessment
Third-party assessment is the exception. It applies to Annex III point 1 biometric identification and categorisation systems under Article 43(1) where harmonised standards were not fully applied, and to Annex I Section A products under Article 43(3), where the notified body already designated under the sectoral legislation assesses the AI Act requirements. Article 43(2) is the internal-control route and involves no notified body. Employment, credit, education, and essential-services systems fall under Article 43(2).
