Annex IV specifies seven categories of required documentation: (1) a general description including intended purpose, version, and hardware; (2) a detailed description of the design and development process; (3) information on training, validation, and testing data; (4) monitoring, functioning, and control measures; (5) risk management measures; (6) changes made to the system across versions; and (7) a list of harmonised standards applied. The annex is cross-referenced with Articles 11 and 17 and must be read alongside post-market monitoring obligations under Article 72.
MLOps and governance teams should map Annex IV requirements to their existing model cards, data cards, and experiment-tracking artefacts to identify documentation gaps efficiently.
