EU AI Act Technical Documentation (High-Risk AI System)

Detects Article 11 / Annex IV technical documentation for high-risk AI systems under the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689). This documentation must demonstrate compliance of the high-risk AI system before placing on the market and contains commercially sensitive material — system architecture, design specifications, training-data datasheets, risk management findings, and known limitations — whose uncontrolled disclosure exposes trade secrets and the provider's compliance posture.

Confidence justification

Medium confidence: honest topic matcher. Annex IV's enumerated section headings are distinctive of the document class, but the same phrases appear verbatim in legal alerts, compliance guides, and training material discussing the AI Act; noise exclusions and corroborative evidence reduce but cannot eliminate that concept-class collision. No identifier-grade precision is promised.

Should match

• CONFIDENTIAL — TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, Annex IV) AI system: SentinelHire v2.3 — CV screening and shortlisting (high-risk, Annex III point 4) Section 1 — General description of the AI system: intended purpose, provider identity, versions of relevant software, and the hardware on which the AI system is intended to run. Section 5 — Detailed description of the risk management system in accordance with Article 9. — Annex IV technical documentation pack for a high-risk recruitment AI system
• Section 9 of this dossier sets out the post-market monitoring plan referred to in Article 72(3), including the arrangements for collecting accuracy and performance data in the post-market phase. A copy of the EU declaration of conformity (Annex IV point 8) and the list of harmonised standards applied are annexed. Human oversight measures are described in Section 3. — Post-market monitoring plan section with Annex IV cross-references
• Internal review, do not distribute: the technical documentation of the high-risk AI system is still missing the datasheets describing the training methodologies and the data requirements. Design specifications and the description of human oversight measures were updated against Annex IV; the notified body has asked for the revised system architecture description before the conformity assessment resumes. — Internal compliance review of an incomplete Annex IV technical file

Should not match

• The Commission today reminded providers that the obligations for high-risk AI systems apply from August 2026. Companies will have to prepare technical documentation, undergo conformity assessment and register their systems, the press release said. Industry groups have asked for a delay. — News article about AI Act obligations (no Annex IV document vocabulary)
• Achieve AI Act compliance in weeks, not months. Our platform automatically drafts your Annex IV evidence pack and keeps it audit-ready. Book a demo or join our webinar to see how leading providers automate compliance with Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. — Vendor marketing claiming AI Act compliance tooling
• Abstract — This peer-reviewed article analyses the documentation requirements of the EU AI Act and compares the technical file regime for medical devices with the new rules for AI providers. We argue that documentation duties function as a de facto licensing scheme. — Academic paper analysing AI Act documentation requirements
• Legal update for clients: Annex IV(1) of the AI Act requires 'a general description of the AI system' including its intended purpose, and Annex IV(5) a description of the risk management system established under Article 9. Contact our regulatory team for a readiness assessment. — Law-firm client alert quoting Annex IV text (filter-dependent negative)

Known false positives

• Law-firm client alerts, compliance guides, and training material quoting Annex IV section headings verbatim Mitigation: Noise exclusion on 'legal update', 'client alert', 'newsletter', 'training course', 'training material'; corroborative evidence favours full documents over quoted fragments
• Vendor marketing and webinar invitations claiming AI Act compliance capability Mitigation: Noise exclusion on 'book a demo', 'webinar', 'free trial', 'press release'; marketing copy rarely reproduces the enumerated Annex IV section vocabulary
• News and policy analysis about the AI Act's documentation obligations Mitigation: Primary phrases are Annex IV document vocabulary rather than generic 'technical documentation'; noise exclusion on press/news terms
• Technical files for other CE-marked products (machinery, medical devices) that also use 'technical documentation' Mitigation: Primary phrases require AI-system-specific wording; corroborative evidence is AI Act vocabulary (Annex IV, Article 9, high-risk AI system)
