LAW Official text — verbatim from the Official Journal snapshot; only the Official Journal is authentic.
By way of derogation from Article 2(1), third subparagraph, point (b), of Regulation (EU) 2023/988, Chapter III, Section 1, Chapters V and VII, and Chapters IX to XI of that Regulation shall apply to products with digital elements with respect to aspects and risks or categories of risks that are not covered by this Regulation where those products are not subject to specific safety requirements laid down in other ‘Union harmonisation legislation’ as defined in Article 3, point (27), of Regulation (EU) 2023/988.

Article 11 handles the overlap with general product-safety law: by way of derogation within the General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988, specified chapters of that Regulation reach products with digital elements for aspects and risks this Regulation does not cover, where those products are not subject to specific safety requirements in other Union harmonisation legislation.
The pattern to recognise
The Regulation keeps resolving collisions the same way — sector-specific regimes win their own ground, as with the carve-outs for medical devices and type-approved vehicles F-010, and horizontal frameworks fill whatever is left. Article 11 follows that pattern for product safety: the general product-safety rules it points to reach only the aspects and risks this Regulation does not cover.
