What does the checker do?
It screens EU nexus, role, prohibited-practice indicators, Annex I and Annex III triggers, transparency obligations, and likely next steps for one system or a portfolio.

Portfolio-ready
EU AI Act Applicability Checker
Screen one system or a whole portfolio. Map likely EU nexus, role, prohibited or high-risk triggers, transparency obligations, and next actions — without sending answers to a server.
Path A
Portfolio screening for multiple AI systems
Path B
Single-system deeper triage
Outputs
Category, deadline, priority, next action
Free
Local-only by default
Informational, not legal advice
More operational than a basic questionnaire
This page is structured for internal triage, not just interpretation. It helps you screen multiple AI systems consistently, assign owners, record confidence, and convert the result into a prioritized next-action list.
✓What you get
- Likely applicability based on EU nexus.
- Likely role: provider, deployer, importer, distributor, manufacturer.
- Likely regulatory path: prohibited, high-risk, transparency, minimal, or unclear.
- Deadline estimate, open-item count, and next action.
!What it does not do
- It does not replace legal review.
- It does not perform conformity assessment.
- It does not guarantee compliance.
- It does not transmit checker answers unless you manually export them.

What this checker answers, in plain language
This free checker helps an SME determine whether a specific AI system or portfolio is likely in scope of the EU AI Act, what role the organisation may be playing, what risk path is most likely, and what next action should happen now. It is designed for fast triage, not formal legal determination.
Does it store my answers?
By default, answers stay in local browser storage on the device you are using. Nothing is sent to a server unless you manually export the results and share them yourself.
Is this an official EU checker or legal advice?
No. This is an operational triage tool created for educational and implementation-planning purposes. It is not an official EU service, legal opinion, conformity assessment, or certification.
How does the page behave on a phone?
The hero section stacks vertically, the navigation collapses into a mobile menu, form sections become single-column, and the saved-items table scrolls horizontally inside its own container instead of breaking the layout.
When should I move from this free checker to a deeper assessment?
Move to a deeper assessment when the result suggests prohibited use, likely high-risk classification, transparency obligations, GPAI dependence, or when confidence is low and the facts remain incomplete.
