# Recital (51)

The classification of an AI system as high-risk pursuant to this Regulation should not necessarily mean that the 
product whose safety component is the AI system, or the AI system itself as a product, is considered to be high-risk 
under the criteria established in the relevant Union harmonisation legislation that applies to the product. This is, in 
particular, the case for Regulations (EU) 2017/745 and (EU) 2017/746, where a third-party conformity assessment is 
provided for medium-risk and high-risk products.
