AI Act, German and Estonian versions: Article 49(2) calls a system high-risk although the provider has concluded it is not

German and Estonian Article 49(2) call the object a high-risk system although the provider has concluded that it is not high-risk. The other versions say an AI system.

Consequence

No change to the registration duty; the label contradicts the condition in the same sentence.

Proposed correction

Read an AI system, as in the other versions.
