Annex I Part A item 5 or 6\n applies, so Article 25(2) makes third-party notified-body\n conformity assessment mandatory.\n\nOUT_OF_SCOPE The function ensures a safety function, but is NOT self-evolving —\n it is incapable of learning or evolving after placing on the\n market. Recital 55 excludes it from the Part A trigger. It is still\n assessed against the Annex III essential health and safety\n requirements; it just does not need a notified body on this ground.\n\nNOT_SAFETY_FUNCTION The function does not ensure a safety function at all. Its failure\n would not endanger health or safety; it does user assistance,\n performance optimisation, efficiency, convenience or quality\n control. Compare AI Act Art 6(1a) as inserted by Reg. (EU) 2026/1744.\n\nAnswer with the label only and nothing else.",

	"Article 25(2)": "Where the category is listed in Annex I Part A the manufacturer shall apply module B+C, module H, or module G. There is no module A route.",

	"Recital 55": "Provisions related to the third-party conformity assessment of software ensuring safety functions ... should only apply to systems with a fully or partially self-evolving behaviour using machine learning approaches ensuring safety functions. On the contrary, those provisions should not apply to software incapable of learning or evolving, and programmed only to execute certain automated functions.",
	"Recital 54": "systems with self-evolving behaviour ensuring safety functions should be included in Annex I due to their characteristics such as data dependency, opacity, autonomy and connectivity",
