Annex IV template

EU AI Act Technical Documentation Template (Annex IV)

This page gives you a practical structure for Annex IV documentation so engineering, legal, and product teams can align on the evidence package required for high-risk AI systems.

Template structure

  1. System description and intended purpose
  2. Architecture, model dependencies, and integration boundaries
  3. Training and evaluation data provenance, quality, and governance
  4. Performance, robustness, and cybersecurity evaluation evidence
  5. Human oversight controls and escalation paths
  6. Risk management under Article 9 and mitigation traceability
  7. Post-market monitoring, logging, and incident response plan

Start with risk classification

Before building the full Annex IV package, confirm whether your use case is likely high-risk. That classification determines the depth of documentation and controls you need to prioritize.
