What EU AI Act (EU) 2024/1689 - Article 18: Technical Documentation Requirements for High-Risk AI System Providers requires

Article 18 requires providers of high-risk AI systems to draw up Annex IV-compliant technical documentation before placing the system on the market and to keep it up to date throughout the product lifecycle. The documentation must contain all information necessary to assess conformity with the AI Act requirements and must be maintained for 10 years after the last high-risk AI system is placed on the EU market. Technical documentation must be made available to national competent authorities and notified bodies on request. For high-risk AI systems that are also safety components under other EU legislation (MDR, Machinery Regulation, etc.), the technical documentation may be combined with documentation required under those instruments.
