# Article 8 - Compliance with the requirements

1.
High-risk AI systems shall comply with the requirements laid down in this Section, taking into account their intended 
purpose as well as the generally acknowledged state of the art on AI and AI-related technologies. The risk management 
system referred to in Article 9 shall be taken into account when ensuring compliance with those requirements.

2.
Where a product contains an AI system, to which the requirements of this Regulation as well as requirements of the 
Union harmonisation legislation listed in Section A of Annex I apply, providers shall be responsible for ensuring that their 
product is fully compliant with all applicable requirements under applicable Union harmonisation legislation. In ensuring 
the compliance of high-risk AI systems referred to in paragraph 1 with the requirements set out in this Section, and in order 
to ensure consistency, avoid duplication and minimise additional burdens, providers shall have a choice of integrating, as 
appropriate, the necessary testing and reporting processes, information and documentation they provide with regard to 
their product into documentation and procedures that already exist and are required under the Union harmonisation 
legislation listed in Section A of Annex I.
