EU AI Act Compliance Checklist for SaaS Teams
A practical EU AI Act checklist for scope, risk classification, Article 50 transparency, and high-risk evidence.
Start with scope and role
Confirm whether the system is placed on the EU market, used in the EU, or produces output used in the EU. Then map whether your company is acting as provider, deployer, importer, distributor, product manufacturer, or GPAI model provider.
Classify risk before drafting documents
Screen Article 5 prohibited practices first, then Article 6, Annex I, and Annex III high-risk triggers. Lower-risk systems may still require Article 50 transparency notices and a record explaining why high-risk duties do not apply.
Collect evidence early
High-risk readiness depends on risk management, data governance, technical documentation, logging, human oversight, accuracy, robustness, cybersecurity, and post-market monitoring evidence.
