In brief: EUR-Lex has published a consolidated version of the AI Act (EU) 2024/1689 as at 27 July 2026, serving as a non-binding but practically relevant reference for the current state of the law.
EUR-Lex has made available a consolidated text version of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act) as at 27 July 2026. This version combines the base text of 13 June 2024 with all amendments incorporated up to that point in time and serves as a reference document for practical application.
The European Commission provides, via the EUR-Lex portal, a consolidated text version of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 June 2024 laying down harmonised rules on artificial intelligence, known as the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act). This consolidation is dated 27 July 2026 (CELEX number 02024R1689-20260727) and bundles the original text of the Regulation together with the adjustments made in the interim into a single continuous document. The Regulation simultaneously amends several existing EU legal acts, including Regulations (EC) No 300/2008, (EU) No 167/2013, (EU) No 168/2013, (EU) 2018/858, (EU) 2018/1139 and (EU) 2019/2144, as well as Directives 2014/90/EU, (EU) 2016/797 and (EU) 2020/1828. The text is of relevance to the EEA and thus also applies to application within the European Economic Area.
For compliance officers at companies deploying or developing AI, a consolidated version is the authoritative working basis, as it reflects the current state of the law without the need to consult individual amending acts. The linkage to sector-specific legal acts in the fields of aviation, agricultural and forestry vehicles, motor vehicles, rail and marine equipment shows that the AI Act is not to be viewed in isolation, but has been embedded within existing product safety and market surveillance regimes. Anyone placing AI systems on the market in these sectors must examine the respective interfaces between the AI Act and the amended base legal acts.
In practice, it is advisable always to reference the consolidated version via the official EUR-Lex CELEX identifier together with the respective consolidation date, since EUR-Lex continuously publishes new consolidated versions as amending acts, implementing acts or corrigenda are incorporated. Consolidated texts are not legally binding; the versions of the base Regulation and all amending acts published in the Official Journal of the European Union remain binding. Compliance teams should therefore establish review and documentation processes that include references to specific consolidation dates and provide for a reconciliation check with every new version.
