Conformity Assessment
A systematic evaluation process to verify that an AI system meets applicable regulatory requirements and standards before deployment or market placement.
In plain language
A formal inspection that proves your AI system meets all required standards before you can deploy or sell it. Like a safety certification for electrical products, but for AI systems.
Why this matters
As AI regulation tightens, conformity assessment will become a mandatory step for high-risk deployments. Building assessment capability into your governance processes now positions your organisation to meet emerging compliance obligations.
