Standardisation should play a key role to provide technical solutions to providers means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that develops an AI system or a general-purpose AI model or that has an AI system or a general-purpose AI model developed and places it on the market or puts the AI system into service under its own name or trademark, whether for payment or free of charge; to ensure compliance with this Regulation, in line with the state of the art, to promote innovation as well as competitiveness and growth in the single market. Compliance with harmonised standards means a harmonised standard as defined in Article 2(1), point (c), of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012; as defined in Article 2, point (1)(c), of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council(41)Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on European standardisation, amending Council Directives 89/686/EEC and 93/15/EEC and Directives 94/9/EC, 94/25/EC, 95/16/EC, 97/23/EC, 98/34/EC, 2004/22/EC, 2007/23/EC, 2009/23/EC and 2009/105/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Decision 87/95/EEC and Decision No 1673/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 316, 14.11.2012, p. 12)., which are normally expected to reflect the state of the art, should be a means for providers means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that develops an AI system or a general-purpose AI model or that has an AI system or a general-purpose AI model developed and places it on the market or puts the AI system into service under its own name or trademark, whether for payment or free of charge; to demonstrate conformity with the requirements of this Regulation. A balanced representation of interests involving all relevant stakeholders in the development of standards, in particular SMEs, consumer organisations and environmental and social stakeholders in accordance with Articles 5 and 6 of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 should therefore be encouraged. In order to facilitate compliance, the standardisation requests should be issued by the Commission without undue delay. When preparing the standardisation request, the Commission should consult the advisory forum and the Board in order to collect relevant expertise. However, in the absence of relevant references to harmonised standards means a harmonised standard as defined in Article 2(1), point (c), of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012;, the Commission should be able to establish, via implementing acts, and after consultation of the advisory forum, common specifications means a set of technical specifications as defined in Article 2, point (4) of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012, providing means to comply with certain requirements established under this Regulation; for certain requirements under this Regulation. The common specification means a set of technical specifications as defined in Article 2, point (4) of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012, providing means to comply with certain requirements established under this Regulation; should be an exceptional fall back solution to facilitate the provider means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that develops an AI system or a general-purpose AI model or that has an AI system or a general-purpose AI model developed and places it on the market or puts the AI system into service under its own name or trademark, whether for payment or free of charge;’s obligation to comply with the requirements of this Regulation, when the standardisation request has not been accepted by any of the European standardisation organisations, or when the relevant harmonised standards means a harmonised standard as defined in Article 2(1), point (c), of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012; insufficiently address fundamental rights concerns, or when the harmonised standards means a harmonised standard as defined in Article 2(1), point (c), of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012; do not comply with the request, or when there are delays in the adoption of an appropriate harmonised standard means a harmonised standard as defined in Article 2(1), point (c), of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012;. Where such a delay in the adoption of a harmonised standard means a harmonised standard as defined in Article 2(1), point (c), of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012; is due to the technical complexity of that standard, this should be considered by the Commission before contemplating the establishment of common specifications means a set of technical specifications as defined in Article 2, point (4) of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012, providing means to comply with certain requirements established under this Regulation;. When developing common specifications means a set of technical specifications as defined in Article 2, point (4) of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012, providing means to comply with certain requirements established under this Regulation;, the Commission is encouraged to cooperate with international partners and international standardisation bodies.
