EU AI Act & ISO 42001 — What Manufacturers Need to Know

The EU AI Act (effective August 2026) classifies AI used in safety-critical manufacturing processes — such as automated quality inspection or predictive maintenance — as high-risk, requiring documented risk assessments, human oversight, and audit trails. Non-compliance carries fines of up to €35M or 7% of global turnover.

ISO 42001 is the international standard for AI Management Systems. Achieving ISO 42001 alignment demonstrates to customers, insurers, and regulators that your AI use is governed, transparent, and accountable — and is increasingly required in public sector tenders and enterprise supply chains.
