Which cases AICheck covers

Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 classifies AI systems into four risk levels. AICheck is the right tool for high-risk systems under Annex III. Check where you stand before buying.

IN SCOPE

High-risk AI systems — Annex III (Art. 6.2)

For these systems AICheck generates the complete technical documentation under Annex IV. Applies to providers (Art. 2.1.a), deployers in the EU, and non-EU providers whose output is used in the EU (Art. 2.1.c).

Biometric identification and categorisation of persons
Management and operation of critical infrastructure
Education and vocational training (access, assessment, admission)
Employment, worker management and access to self-employment (recruitment, screening, performance evaluation)
Access to essential private and public services (credit scoring, insurance, emergency services)
Law enforcement (recidivism risk assessment, polygraphs, deepfake detection)
Migration, asylum and border control management
Administration of justice and democratic processes

EXEMPT

Cases excluded from the scope of application

These situations fall outside the Regulation. If your system fits here, you do not need Annex IV technical documentation (though you may generate it voluntarily).

Systems for exclusively military or national defence purposes (Art. 2.3)
Pure scientific research without market placement (Art. 2.6)
Open-source AI components (with exceptions for high-risk, Art. 2.12)
Systems on the market before entry into force without substantial modifications
Personal non-professional use by natural persons

DIFFERENT REGIME

Systems covered by the Regulation but under a different regime

These systems fall within the AI Act but their regime differs from high-risk. AICheck is not the right tool for these cases.

Unacceptable risk (Art. 5): prohibited. They need to cease activity, not document it
Limited risk (Arts. 50-52): transparency obligations only (chatbots, deepfakes, generated content)
General-purpose AI models / GPAI (Arts. 51-56): separate regime with its own obligations

Not sure about your case? Take the free test first. If AICheck is not the right tool for your system, we tell you before you buy.

Who buys AICheck

Providers (Art. 16), deployers (Arts. 26-27) and compliance officers whose AI system falls in the high-risk zone of Annex III.

🏦European AI startup with a credit scoring model, recruitment system, insurance risk assessment or educational proctoring tool. 5-30 employees, technical CTO but no regulatory experience. August 2026 is their deadline. They don't have €20,000 for a Big Four consultancy.

💼European company (non-tech) using AI in HR: CV screening software, AI-powered video interviews, algorithmic performance evaluation. Art. 6.2 + Annex III.4 (employment) is their key article. Compliance told them to document these systems, but they don't know where to start.

🌍Non-EU AI provider (USA, UK, Israel, India) selling to European clients. Art. 2.1.c applies: if the output is used in the EU, they must comply. Their European client has requested AI Act technical documentation. €249 versus losing a €100,000/year contract.

🛠EU deployer: a company using a third-party high-risk AI system. Arts. 26-27. They need to document their use under Art. 26, maintain logs (Art. 26.5), and conduct a fundamental rights impact assessment (Art. 27) when applicable.

📊DPO, Compliance Officer or in-house Legal at a mid-to-large company with 3-15 AI systems in production. Needs to document all of them. For this profile, Volume Packs are the solution: a pack of 10 systems at a reduced price.

💼Small consultancy or law firm wanting to offer “AI Act compliance” as a service to their clients. They buy AICheck as an internal tool and bill the service. €249 × 10 clients = €2,490 cost, billing €5,000-10,000 per client.

What happens without technical documentation

Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 establishes three tiers of penalties in its Art. 99. The European AI Office is already operational. Member States were required to designate national competent authorities by 2 August 2025.

⚖ Prohibited practices (Art. 5)

Up to €35,000,000 or 7% of total worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher. Covers social scoring, subliminal manipulation, exploitation of vulnerabilities, real-time mass biometric identification (with exceptions). For SMEs and startups: the lower of the two amounts applies. Art. 99.3 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689.

📄 High-risk non-compliance (Arts. 6-49)

Up to €15,000,000 or 3% of total worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher. Includes lack of technical documentation (Art. 11), absence of risk management system (Art. 9), non-compliance with transparency requirements (Art. 13), absence of QMS (Art. 17). For SMEs: the lower of the two amounts. Art. 99.4 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689.

⚠ False information to authorities

Up to €7,500,000 or 1% of total worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher. Triggered when the provider or deployer supplies incorrect, incomplete or misleading information to national competent authorities or the European AI Office in response to a request. Art. 99.5 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689.

How your licence works

No fine print. Read this before buying so you know exactly what you get for €249.

1 licence = 1 AI system. You pay €249 per system. For a different system, a different licence. The licence is permanently associated with the AI system you describe in the generator.

Up to 10 regenerations of the ZIP to correct data, adjust risk classifications or update technical information. Plenty of margin to edit at your own pace.

30-day editing window from first activation. Within that period you can regenerate all 12 documents as many times as you need (up to 10).

The downloaded PDF is yours permanently. The 12 PDF documents you download in the ZIP do not expire, do not depend on any active subscription, and require no renewal. The licence limits regeneration, not the use of the downloaded document.

Legal basis: Under Art. 16.m of Directive (EU) 2011/83 on consumer rights. By activating the licence, the buyer gives express consent to the immediate generation of the digital content, waiving the 14-day right of withdrawal for digital content whose performance has begun.

Why AICheck is structurally different

It is not that it is cheaper. The model is different.

GUIDED SELF-ASSESSMENT

The provider assesses, AICheck structures

Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 establishes that the responsibility for technical documentation lies with the system provider (Art. 16). AICheck inverts the consultancy model: you, as provider, assess your own system article by article, guided by the generator questions. AICheck structures your assessment into 12 professional documents conforming to Annex IV and the remaining Chapter III obligations.

BROWSER-SIDE

Your system data never leaves your browser

AICheck is JavaScript running on your machine. There is no server processing your AI system data, no database, no storage. The generation of all 12 PDFs happens locally and you download the ZIP directly. You can disconnect from wifi after loading the page and the generator continues working. GDPR-native by design.

PORTABILITY

The downloaded PDFs are yours, no subscription

The 12 documents you download do not depend on any active subscription. In three years they are still valid without paying another euro. SaaS AI governance platforms force you to renew to keep access to your reports. Here, the ZIP is a portable package that survives your commercial relationship with us.

What AICheck guarantees and what it does not

Commercial honesty about the product scope and how refunds work for downloadable digital content.

Warranties and liability

AICheck generates a set of structured documents under Art. 11 and Annex IV of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, based on the information you, as the AI system provider, input. The accuracy, precision and completeness of that information is your responsibility as provider.

We guarantee that the document structure follows Annex IV and that the legal references cited (articles, annexes, obligations) are correct as of the last verification date. We do not guarantee that a specific dossier will be accepted by a market surveillance authority in a specific case or by a notified body in a conformity assessment procedure.

AICheck is not legal advice. For specific situations (open inspection, initiated sanctioning procedure, third-party conformity assessment), consult a lawyer or consultancy specialising in artificial intelligence regulation.

Refund policy

AICheck is digital content delivered by downloading the ZIP with the 12 PDF documents generated in your browser. Under Art. 16.m of Directive (EU) 2011/83 on consumer rights, the right of withdrawal does not apply to digital content whose performance has begun with the express consent of the buyer. The generation of the ZIP constitutes the act of delivery of the product.

Refund for technical failure: if the software fails (generator error, PDF that does not download, reproducible bug), we refund in full upon providing a screenshot of the error to hello@solidwaretools.com within 14 days of purchase.

No refund for change of mind once the licence is activated and the ZIP generated, under the cited Art. 16.m.

Frequently asked questions

What is the AI Act?▼

The AI Act is Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 June 2024, laying down harmonised rules on artificial intelligence. It is the world's first comprehensive law on artificial intelligence. It entered into force on 1 August 2024, with phased application: Art. 5 prohibitions apply from 2 February 2025, GPAI obligations from 2 August 2025, and high-risk system obligations from 2 August 2026.

Is my AI system affected by the Regulation?▼

Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 applies to providers placing on the market or putting into service AI systems in the Union (Art. 2.1.a), to deployers within the EU (Art. 2.1.b), and to providers and deployers outside the EU whose system output is used in the EU (Art. 2.1.c). Exempt are exclusively military uses (Art. 2.3), pure scientific research (Art. 2.6), and personal non-professional use. If your system fits one of the 8 Annex III categories, it is high-risk and needs technical documentation.

What is a high-risk AI system?▼

Art. 6 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 defines two pathways for a system to be high-risk. The first (Art. 6.1) applies to systems that are safety components of products covered by EU harmonisation legislation listed in Annex I. The second (Art. 6.2) applies to systems explicitly listed in Annex III, covering 8 areas: biometrics, critical infrastructure, education, employment, essential services, law enforcement, migration, and justice.

When does the technical documentation obligation take effect?▼

The obligations for high-risk AI systems, including Annex IV technical documentation (Art. 11), apply from 2 August 2026 under Art. 113 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. Art. 5 prohibitions already apply from 2 February 2025. AI Literacy obligations (Art. 4) also apply from February 2025. GPAI obligations (Arts. 51-56) from 2 August 2025.

What is Annex IV technical documentation?▼

Annex IV of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 details the 9 information blocks that the technical documentation of a high-risk AI system must contain: general description of the system, detailed description of elements and development process, monitoring information, operation and control, description of the appropriateness of performance metrics, description of the risk management system, and more. Art. 11 establishes the provider's obligation to draw up and maintain this documentation.

Does AICheck replace a notified body?▼

No. AICheck generates the technical documentation the provider must draw up under Art. 11 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. For high-risk systems requiring third-party conformity assessment (Art. 43.1), that documentation is a prerequisite that the notified body will review. AICheck generates the documentary basis; the conformity assessment by a notified body is a separate step when required. Art. 43 of the Regulation details when notified body involvement is mandatory.

Is my data secure?▼

Yes. All processing occurs 100% in your browser. No data about your company, your AI system, its technical characteristics or your risk assessment is transmitted to any SolidwareTools server or to third parties. You can disconnect from the internet after loading the page and the generator continues working. When you close the tab, the information disappears. GDPR-native by design, not by declaration.

Does it work if I operate from outside the EU?▼

Yes. Art. 2.1.c of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 establishes that the Regulation applies to providers and deployers of AI systems established in a third country, insofar as the output produced by the system is used in the Union. If you sell an AI system to a European client or if your system's output is used in the EU, you need to comply regardless of your country of origin (USA, UK, Israel, India, China or any other).

What if my system is limited risk?▼

Limited-risk systems (chatbots, content generation systems, deepfakes, emotion recognition systems) have transparency obligations under Arts. 50-52 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, but not the full Annex IV technical documentation obligations. If your system is exclusively limited risk, you do not need AICheck. The free test helps you determine this.

Is there a subscription or recurring fees?▼

No. Each tool is a one-time payment per AI system. No monthly fees, no automatic renewals, no commitment. The 12 downloaded PDF documents are permanent and yours to keep. Each licence covers one AI system with a 30-day editing window and up to 10 regenerations to correct data or update details. After that period the licence closes, but the PDFs you already downloaded remain valid indefinitely.

Can I get a refund?▼

Digital products are governed by Art. 16.m of Directive (EU) 2011/83 on consumer rights. By activating the licence in the generator and expressly confirming the document generation, the buyer consents to the downloadable digital content nature and waives the right of withdrawal. No refunds for change of mind once the licence is activated. Refunds are accepted for reproducible technical failures (generator error, PDF that does not download, verifiable bug) by sending a screenshot of the error to hello@solidwaretools.com within 14 calendar days of purchase.

What if the regulation changes?▼

If Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 or its delegated acts change during your licence validity (30 days), you can regenerate the documents with the updated generator version at no additional cost. Generator updates are free and the latest version is always available with the same licence key. If the regulation changes after your editing window, the already-downloaded documents reflect the version in force at the time of generation.
