1.3 This Outline encompasses both categories of AI‑based products. However, products that include safety functions but do not incorporate AI‑based functions are not within the scope of this Outline. The Outline is intended to provide a horizontal set of safety requirements applicable across diverse AI‑based products and is intended to be used in conjunction with existing (vertical) end‑product safety standards.
