EU AI Act \u2014 Self-Classification
AI System Classification Document
Classification of AI Attest under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (EU AI Act). This document assesses whether AI Attest constitutes a high-risk AI system under Annex III and documents the reasoning behind the classification.
Published: April 13, 2026 \u2014 Version 1.0.0
1. System description
Product name: AI Attest
URL: aiattest.io
Purpose: AI Attest is a compliance documentation platform that helps organizations assess, build, and document compliance with EU regulations (EU AI Act, GDPR DPIAs, and Cyber Resilience Act). It uses AI in its audit mode to classify uploaded documents against regulatory requirements. Build mode, compliance reports, and the cryptographic audit trail are deterministic (non-AI) systems.
AI components: AI Attest uses third-party general-purpose AI models (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT-4o, Google Gemini) via their hosted APIs to perform document classification and field-level coverage assessment in Audit Mode, and to generate draft content in AI Drafting. Users supply their own API keys.
Intended users: Compliance officers, DPOs, AI governance leads, CTOs, and legal teams at organizations subject to EU regulations.
2. Annex III assessment
The EU AI Act (Article 6) defines high-risk AI systems as those listed in Annex III. We assess AI Attest against each category:
AI Attest does not process biometric data or perform identification/categorisation of natural persons.
AI Attest does not manage, operate, or make decisions about critical infrastructure (water, gas, electricity, transport, digital infrastructure).
AI Attest does not determine access to education, evaluate learning outcomes, or monitor student behavior.
AI Attest does not make recruitment, promotion, termination, or task allocation decisions. It is not used in employment contexts.
AI Attest does not evaluate creditworthiness, set insurance premiums, or determine access to public assistance, emergency services, or essential private services.
AI Attest is not used for risk assessment of natural persons, polygraphs, evidence evaluation, profiling, or crime analytics.
AI Attest does not process visa applications, assess security risks at borders, or assist in migration-related decisions.
AI Attest does not assist judicial authorities in researching, interpreting, or applying the law to facts.
3. Classification determination
AI Attest is classified as a non-high-risk AI system.
AI Attest does not fall under any category listed in Annex III of the EU AI Act. It is a compliance assistance tool that helps organizations document their own compliance \u2014 it does not make decisions about natural persons in any of the high-risk categories.
This classification means AI Attest is not subject to the conformity assessment requirements of Articles 9\u201315. However, as a system that uses AI, it is subject to transparency obligations under Article 50, which are addressed in our AI Transparency Disclosure.
4. Article 50 obligations
Although not high-risk, AI Attest complies with Article 50 transparency requirements:
Users are informed they are interacting with an AI system
AI Transparency Disclosure published. Audit Mode explicitly labelled as AI-assisted.
AI-generated content is marked as such
Audit reports include provider and model metadata. AI Drafting outputs are clearly labelled.
Machine-readable marking of AI-generated content
JSON exports include provider, model, and generation metadata.
5. Review schedule
This classification will be reviewed upon any of the following events: material changes to AI Attest's functionality or intended purpose, publication of new harmonised standards or implementing acts affecting classification, issuance of guidance by the AI Office or national competent authorities, or at minimum annually. Next scheduled review: April 2027.
