Wenn Sie Ihre elektrischen und elektronischen Produkte weltweit vertreiben wollen, benötigen Sie fundierte Kenntnisse, welche Anforderungen und Regularien Ihre Produkte erfüllen müssen. Eine gute Strategie hilft Ihnen, die erforderlichen Nachweise im zeitlichen und finanziellen Rahmen zu erlangen.  Je nach Produkt (Maschine, Medizin, Haushalt, IT, Audio/Video, Beleuchtung, …) werden in den Ländern der Welt unterschiedliche Anforderungen (EMV, Produktsicherheit, Funk, RoHS, Energieeffizienz, REACH, …) verbindlich geregelt. Mal ist eine Herstellererklärung (Konformitätserklärung, DoC) ausreichend, mal muss eine Drittprüfstelle ein Zertifikat ausstellen oder eine Konformitätsbewertung durchführen, mal ist eine regelmäßige Fertigungsinspektion erforderlich, mal nicht. Welche Gemeinsamkeiten gibt es und wie kann man unnötige Mehrfachprüfungen vermeiden?  Dieses Webinar verschafft Ihnen hierzu einen Überblick.

The EU Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) establishes the world’s first comprehensive legal framework for artificial intelligence and introduces a risk-based approach for legal requirements and governance objectives for AI applications.The regulation entered into force in August 2024 and will be implemented progressively:Early obligations (e.g. prohibited AI systems) apply from early 2025Requirements for high-risk AI systems apply from late 2026Additional provisions for general-purpose AI models (GPAI) are phased in over the same periodThis course provides a structured and practical introduction to the EU AI Act and translates regulatory requirements into actionable compliance steps. Participants gain a clear understanding of risk categories, obligations and governance requirements, including risk management, quality management system, data governance, transparency and human oversight.The EU AI Act has significant implications for organizations: it directly affects product development, AI system design, compliance processes and market access within the EU. Early preparation is essential to mitigate regulatory risks, avoid penalties and build trustworthy AI systems.
