EU Declaration of Conformity – Art. 47

Requirement

Providers of high-risk AI systems must issue an EU Declaration of Conformity confirming that the system meets the requirements of the AI Act.

Content

The declaration must contain at least:

• Name and address of the provider
• Unique identification of the AI system (name, type, serial number/version)
• Statement that the system complies with the requirements of the AI Act
• Reference to applied harmonised standards or other technical specifications
• Where applicable, name and identification number of the notified body (for Annex VII)
• Date and signature

Single Source of Truth

The EU Declaration of Conformity is generated from the machine-readable file .compliance/ai-act-statement.json. This ensures that:

• One source — JSON is the sole location where compliance data are maintained
• Consistency — Human-readable DoC, CE marking and EU database registration use the same data
• Automation — Validation and generation in the CI/CD pipeline

See: Machine-Readable Format

Retention

The EU Declaration of Conformity must be retained for 10 years after the AI system is placed on the market and presented to the competent authorities upon request.
