Annex IV documentation

The document a notified body asks for

Article 11 requires providers of high-risk AI systems to draw up technical documentation before the system goes on the market, covering the eight areas set out in Annex IV. This is Aikraft generating it — five screens, captured in the product.

Who
The provider of the high-risk AI system draws it up. Article 11
Applies to
All high-risk AI systems. Where the system relates to a product covered by the Union harmonisation legislation in Annex I Section A, a single set of documentation covers both. Annex IV Annex III
When
Drawn up before the system is placed on the market or put into service, and kept up to date thereafter. Article 11(1)
Retention
Kept at the disposal of national competent authorities for 10 years after the system is placed on the market or put into service. Article 18(1)
Who reads it
Written to let national competent authorities and notified bodies assess compliance. SMEs and start-ups may use the Commission's simplified form, which notified bodies must accept. Article 11

01 Generate the draft

One action turns a classified system into a full Annex IV draft. Aikraft creates a versioned document, works through all eight sections, and scores how complete the result is — here, 28% on a system whose technical details have not been filled in yet.

02 Eight sections, drafted

Annex IV defines what technical documentation must cover. Aikraft drafts each section separately and tracks completeness per section, so you can see at a glance that Human Oversight is in good shape while Testing and Validation still needs work.

03 Written from your answers

The draft is not boilerplate. It reuses the classification answers already in the workspace — the human oversight section states that the system is decision-support only, makes no automatic rejections, and keeps recruiters accountable, because that is what the questionnaire recorded.

04 Nothing changes unreviewed

Regenerating a section opens it as a proposal, not an edit. You see the rewrite and the completeness it would produce, then apply or discard it — so an AI-drafted compliance record never changes underneath you.

05 Version it and publish

Drafts carry version history and a publish step, so the document you hand a notified body or an auditor is a fixed, dated version — and Article 11 documentation has to stay current for as long as the system is on the market.

Every frame is a screenshot of Aikraft. The document shown was generated during this walkthrough from a system classified as high-risk under Annex III, Category 4. Its 28% completeness score reflects a workspace where the system’s technical details had not yet been supplied — the generator drafts what it can and marks the rest as outstanding.
