The provision adds two new paragraphs empowering the Commission to adopt delegated acts amending Annex III to add health and safety requirements for Artificial Intelligence systems classified as high-risk under Article 6(1) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, where those systems are safety components or products covered by this Regulation, with those requirements to reflect specified provisions of that Regulation.

A further new paragraph requires the Commission, when adopting those delegated acts, to take into account the objectives of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 and to ensure a consistent level of protection, and states that the delegated acts shall apply by 2 August 2028.

The first two paragraphs on essential health and safety requirements for machinery, related products, and partly completed machinery remain unchanged between the two versions.
