EU AI Act EUAI-Art.40-42: Harmonised standards and presumption of conformity (Arts 40 and 42)

Art.40 provides that a high-risk AI system or general-purpose AI model in conformity with harmonised standards whose references are published in the Official Journal is presumed to conform with the corresponding requirements, and directs the Commission's standardisation requests. Art.42 provides a presumption of conformity with the Art.10(4) data governance requirement for systems trained on data reflecting the specific geographical, behavioural, contextual or functional setting of intended use, and with the Art.15 cybersecurity requirement for systems certified under Regulation (EU) 2019/881. Both operate in the operator's favour rather than imposing anything. The one duty in the former Art.40-42 bundle, the Art.41(5) obligation to justify equivalent technical solutions where common specifications are not followed, is now carried at EUAI-Art.41.
