Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 · Article 27
The fundamental rights impact assessment, Article 27: do you owe one, and what goes in it Before a high-risk Annex III system is first used, three kinds of deployer assess the impact on fundamental rights, from 2 December 2027. Two questions decide whether that is you; if it is, the six elements of Article 27(1) follow in the Regulation's own words, in your language, with a field under each, and the page writes the assessment as text you can file. Nothing you type leaves this page.
