Oliver Patel has written about how deployers can become providers. aiactblog.nl has an Article 26 guide. pitch.law explains provider vs deployer. Baker McKenzie has a PDF. VerifyWise sells a deployer policy pack. All of them describe the problem. None of them solve it. Article 25 states that if you place your name on a high-risk AI system, or modify it substantially, you become the provider. At that point, the Art. 11 documentation obligation is yours. AICheck lets you generate the 12 Annex IV documents in 45 minutes. €249.

Art. 25 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 establishes responsibilities along the value chain. You become the provider if you put your name on the system or modify it substantially.
Art. 26.1 requires the deployer to use the system in accordance with the instructions of use. No documentation = no instructions = non-compliance. Art. 13 requires the provider to enable deployers to interpret the system's output — the Annex IV documentation is how.
Five steps from requesting documentation to independent compliance.
An email claiming compliance is not Annex IV documentation. Article 11 requires a structured technical dossier with 9 sections. A statement of compliance is a claim. The dossier is evidence. Ask for the 12 documents.
The documentation gap is the provider's failure. But it becomes your problem under Art. 26.1. You cannot use a high-risk AI system in accordance with instructions that do not exist. The supervisory authority can ask what measures you took. "We waited" is not a measure.
Article 25.1(c) states that a deployer who makes a "substantial modification" becomes the provider. If you fine-tuned the model, changed the training data, altered decision thresholds, or retrained on your own data, you may already be the provider. The documentation obligation is already yours.
Each AICheck licence generates a ZIP with 12 PDF documents for one AI system. For 10 systems you need 10 licences and obtain 120 documents in total.

Request Volume PricingAICheck generates a document structured under Article 11 and Annex IV of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 based on the information you enter. The truthfulness, accuracy and completeness of that information is your responsibility as provider of the AI system.
We guarantee that the document structure follows Article 11 and Annex IV of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 and that the legal references cited are correct as of the latest verification date. We do not guarantee that a specific document will be accepted by a market surveillance authority in a specific case, nor by a commercial buyer in a procurement process.
