Recital 54

Alternative Age Assurance Solutions Unofficial title

Proposal (not yet law)

This is the text proposed by the European Commission on 17 September 2026 (COM(2026) 681 final, procedure 2026/0286(COD)). It has not been adopted and has no legal effect. The European Parliament and the Council may amend it, so the final wording and numbering may differ. Follow the procedure on EUR-Lex.

For the purpose of compliance with the safety-by-design requirements laid down in Chapter III, providers should also be allowed to use alternative age assurance solutions instead of age verification, where those solutions provide a high level of accuracy, reliability, security, robustness, non-intrusiveness, privacy, and non-discrimination.
