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
- System description and intended purpose
- Architecture, model dependencies, and integration boundaries
- Training and evaluation data provenance, quality, and governance
- Performance, robustness, and cybersecurity evaluation evidence
- Human oversight controls and escalation paths
- Risk management under Article 9 and mitigation traceability
- 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.
