EU publishes EN 18286, the first harmonised standard for AI Act compliance
Sorted AI21 OctThe European Commission has published in the EU's Official Journal the reference to EN 18286:2026, the first harmonised standard supporting the AI Act, developed by CEN and CENELEC and adopted through Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2026/2274. It sets out the quality management system that providers of high-risk AI systems need under Article 17 of the Act. Providers that apply it get a presumption of conformity with the Article 17 requirements it covers. It is designed to sit on top of existing standards such as ISO/IEC 42001 or ISO 9001 rather than replace them, and the Commission expects more harmonised standards to follow.
Why it matters: If you build AI systems that may count as high-risk and plan to sell them in the EU, this gives you a concrete template for your quality management system; map it against any ISO 42001 or ISO 9001 work you already have.
