# Recital (174)

Given the rapid technological developments and the technical expertise required to effectively apply this Regulation, 
the Commission should evaluate and review this Regulation by 2 August 2029 and every four years thereafter and 
report to the European Parliament and the Council. In addition, taking into account the implications for the scope of 
this Regulation, the Commission should carry out an assessment of the need to amend the list of high-risk AI 
systems and the list of prohibited practices once a year. Moreover, by 2 August 2028 and every four years thereafter, 
the Commission should evaluate and report to the European Parliament and to the Council on the need to amend 
the list of high-risk areas headings in the annex to this Regulation, the AI systems within the scope of the 
transparency obligations, the effectiveness of the supervision and governance system and the progress on the 
development of standardisation deliverables on energy efficient development of general-purpose AI models, 
including the need for further measures or actions. Finally, by 2 August 2028 and every three years thereafter, the 
Commission should evaluate the impact and effectiveness of voluntary codes of conduct to foster the application of 
the requirements provided for high-risk AI systems in the case of AI systems other than high-risk AI systems and 
possibly other additional requirements for such AI systems.
