What software helps AI providers with Annex IV technical documentation?

Who has to write Annex IV documentation?

• The provider of a high-risk AI system, before it is placed on the market or put into service, and kept up to date (Article 11(1)).
• It demonstrates that the system meets the requirements of Section 2 of Chapter III and contains at least the elements of Annex IV. SMEs, start-ups and SMCs may provide those elements in a simplified manner, on a form the Commission is to establish (Article 11(1), second subparagraph, as replaced by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744).
• A provider whose systems are not high-risk keeps no Annex IV file.
• What the file contains, point by point: Annex IV technical documentation.

What does the path look like for a provider?

Whether you are the provider at all is set per system: provider or deployer, am I a deployer and when a deployer becomes a provider.

• Register each system you develop or place on the market under your own name.
• Classify it. Rules decide, and each reason names the provision it rests on.
• The duties follow from the classification, each with an owner and a date: for a high-risk system, the requirements of Articles 9 to 15, the obligations of Article 16 and the quality management system of Article 17, and registration under Article 49. Which of them Complipath covers, article by article: what Complipath covers of the Act.
• Write the Annex IV file in its workspace, section by section, with the evidence linked to each requirement it proves.
• Export the register and the file, with the law texts they were assessed against.
• When an amending act touches a provision your confirmed records cite, Complipath emails you for each affected system.

What else does a provider of a high-risk system owe?

• Annex IV is one file among several.
• Article 16 lists the provider's duties, among them the quality management system (Article 17), the conformity assessment (Article 43), the EU declaration of conformity (Article 47), the CE marking (Article 48) and registration (Article 49(1)).
• Complipath turns a confirmed classification into the obligations that follow from it, each with an owner and a date; it does not carry out the conformity assessment, draft the declaration or register the system, and the table above says so.

Can the drafting be trusted?

• Rules decide.
• AI only drafts.
• A person confirms.
• The classification comes from rules in code.
• The language model drafts a documentation section from the facts in your register and says which Annex IV points it could not answer.
• A person confirms the section, the record says who and when, and the exported document carries a SHA-256 fingerprint.
• How the documentation duty reads in the Act: technical documentation under Article 11.
