Summary

Amendment of Act 56/2018 on product conformity assessment and eight other acts that adapts Slovak law to EU product legislation, including the AI Act. It adds Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 to the EU acts under which the Slovak Office of Standards, Metrology and Testing acts as notifying authority, and requires authorised (notified) bodies to meet further duties under such acts, citing Articles 36 and 45 of the AI Act. The Office may fine an authorised body at the levels of Article 99(4) and (6) of the AI Act for breaching the obligations listed in Article 99(4)(f), and reports such fines to the Commission. It names no AI Act market surveillance authority, single point of contact or sandbox.

Approved by the National Council on 21 October 2025, promulgated in the Collection of Laws on 21 November 2025 and in force from 1 January 2026. Article I has 77 amending points; Articles II to IX amend the acts on administrative fees, maritime navigation, state control of the internal market in consumer protection, labour inspection, public health, hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, cybersecurity and the accessibility of products and services. Only its AI Act provisions are summarised here. The AI Act appears in the footnote to section 3(2) of Act 56/2018, which makes the Office the notifying authority under the act and under the EU acts listed there. The pending government bill SK-02 would name the Office as the AI Act's notifying authority and designate the other AI Act authorities.

Recheck of 17 Oct 2026: re-read the text of Act 318/2025 on the static Slov-Lex portal (version effective 1 January 2026, stored 12 Oct 2026). It confirms the number, title, approval on 21 October 2025, promulgation on 21 November 2025, effect from 1 January 2026, the insertion of Regulation 2024/1689 into footnotes 15 and 26, the duties of authorised bodies with references to Articles 36 and 45 of the AI Act (points 22 to 24), the fine in the new section 28(6) and the report to the Commission in section 29(1)(h). Stored in this run: the consolidated text of Act 56/2018 in the version effective 1 January to 29 May 2026, which defines 'úrad' in section 3(1) as the Office of Standards, Metrology and Testing and makes it the notifying authority in section 3(2), whose footnote 15 now lists Regulation 2024/1689. The act amends eight other acts, not nine as version 1 said. The Slov-Lex record page is stored only as an empty application shell, and the linked PDF returned HTTP 404. No English version was found. Version 1's reliance on regulations.ai was dropped.
