The [CE marking](https://www.headlesslaw.com/definitions/ai-act/ce-marking) shall be [subject](https://www.headlesslaw.com/definitions/ai-act/subject) to the general principles set out in Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008. 2. For high-risk AI systems provided digitally, a digital CE marking shall be used, only if it can easily be accessed via the interface from which that system is accessed or via an easily accessible machine-readable code or other electronic means. 3. The CE marking shall be affixed visibly, legibly and indelibly for high-risk AI systems. Where that is not possible or not warranted on account of the nature of the high-risk [AI system](https://www.headlesslaw.com/definitions/ai-act/ai-system), it shall be affixed to the packaging or to the accompanying documentation, as appropriate. 4. Where applicable, the CE marking shall be followed by the identification number of the [notified body](https://www.headlesslaw.com/definitions/ai-act/notified-body) responsible for the [conformity assessment](https://www.headlesslaw.com/definitions/ai-act/conformity-assessment) procedures set out in [Article 43](43.md). The identification number of the notified body shall be affixed by the body itself or, under its instructions, by the [provider](https://www.headlesslaw.com/definitions/ai-act/provider) or by the provider’s [authorised representative](https://www.headlesslaw.com/definitions/ai-act/authorised-representative). The identification number shall also be indicated in any promotional material which mentions that the high-risk AI system fulfils the requirements for CE marking. 5. Where high-risk AI systems are subject to other Union law which also provides for the affixing of the CE marking, the CE marking shall indicate that the high-risk AI system also fulfil the requirements of that other law. *** [Chapter III — High-risk AI systems](../chapters/iii.md) · [← Article 47](47.md) · [Article 49 →](49.md)
