Reg (EU) 2024/1689Generate dossier — €249

Your Indian IT outsourcing company builds AI-powered software for European clients. The client owns the product. You build the technology. The EU AI Act does not care who signs the paycheck — it cares who places the system on the EU market. Who is the provider? Who documents?

IT outsourcing creates a provider/deployer split that the Regulation did not anticipate in simple terms. Your European client commissions the AI system. You design, train, and deploy the model. They place it on the EU market under their name. Under Article 25, they may become the provider — or you remain the provider if the contractual arrangement says so. Either way, someone must produce twelve documents per Annex IV. AICheck generates them in 45 minutes. €249. The question of who pays for it is between you and your client. The documentation must exist regardless.

IT outsourcing and the AI Act: the documentation question

Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 classifies AI systems in the employment domain as high-risk under Annex III, category 4. Four subcategories: (a) recruitment/selection, (b) terms and conditions, (c) performance monitoring, (d) task allocation. Provider and deployer have different obligations.

If your company provides the software, you are the provider — Art. 11 documentation is yours. If your company uses it, you are the deployer — Art. 26 obligations apply. Both roles need action before 2 August 2026.

2
Group by Annex III category
Cluster by category: 5(a) credit scoring, 4(a) recruitment, 4(b) performance evaluation, etc. Each category has specific documentation nuances.
3
Pilot dossier
Generate the dossier for your simplest system. 45 minutes. Review with your legal team. Refine the process.
4
Batch production
With the process validated, generate the remaining dossiers. €249 × N systems. Each takes 45 minutes.

Mistakes companies make with AI in HR

ERROR COMÚN

"We bought the software — compliance is the vendor's problem"

Partially correct. Your vendor has provider obligations (Art. 11). But you have deployer obligations (Art. 26): effective human oversight, informing affected workers (Art. 26.7), log retention, and verifying the provider has produced technical documentation. If your vendor has not provided the Art. 13 instructions, demand them.

ERROR COMÚN

"Our HR department handles people, not technology — this is an IT issue"

The AI Act regulates the system, but the deployer obligations fall on the entity that uses it — your company, not your IT department in isolation. Art. 26.7 requires informing workers and their representatives. That is an HR responsibility. Compliance requires both departments.

ERROR COMÚN

"We only use AI for scheduling shifts — that is not high-risk"

Annex III.4(d) covers AI systems used for task allocation based on individual behaviour or personal traits. If your shift scheduling tool uses algorithmic profiling — assigning shifts based on worker performance scores, availability patterns, or behavioural data — it falls under category 4(d).

What each ZIP contains: 12 documents

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.

Structured documentation vs. third-party audit

● CAPA 1

What AICheck does

Generates the technical documentation for each system under Art. 11 and Annex IV of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. Structures the 9 points of Annex IV individually per system. 12 PDF documents per system.

∅ CAPA 2

What AICheck does NOT do

Does not audit your systems. Does not evaluate whether your training data is adequate. Does not validate that your model performs correctly. That is your responsibility and, if needed, that of a notified body under Art. 43.

AICheck solves Layer 1 so your team can focus on Layer 2. At €249 per system, documentation stops being the bottleneck.

What AICheck guarantees and what it does not

AICheck 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.

AICheck is not legal advice. For specific situations, consult a lawyer or specialised regulatory consultancy.

Frequently asked questions — AI Act obligations for companies using HR AI

Does the AI Act apply to HR software used by EU companies if the vendor is outside the EU?
Yes. Article 2.1(a) applies to providers placing AI systems on the EU market regardless of where the provider is established. If a US or Indian vendor provides HR AI software used by an EU company, the provider obligations (Art. 11) apply to the vendor. The EU company's deployer obligations (Art. 26) apply regardless.
Do we need to inform every employee that we use AI in HR?
Article 26.7 requires deployers to inform workers and their representatives that they are subject to a high-risk AI system. This applies to affected workers — those whose data is processed by the AI system or whose employment conditions are influenced by it.
Our HR vendor says they are 'AI Act ready' — is that enough?
Ask for the specific deliverables. 'AI Act ready' is not a regulatory status. What you need is: (1) Annex IV technical documentation from the provider, (2) Art. 13 instructions for use, and (3) the conformity declaration (Art. 47). If your vendor cannot provide these three documents, their 'readiness' is marketing, not compliance.
We are considering switching HR vendors because of AI Act obligations. Does that help?
Only if the new vendor has produced the required documentation. Switching to a non-compliant vendor does not solve the problem. Before switching, ask the new vendor for their Annex IV documentation, Art. 13 instructions, and conformity declaration.
Is this a subscription?
No. One-time payment. The licence includes 30 days of editing and 10 regenerations. The downloaded PDF is yours to keep.
Can I request a refund?
Under Article 16.m of Directive (EU) 2011/83 on consumer rights, by activating the licence you give express consent for the immediate generation of the digital content and waive the 14-day withdrawal period. Refunds are accepted only for verifiable reproducible technical failures.
What if the regulation changes?
If the regulation changes during the validity of your licence, you may regenerate the document with the updated version of the generator at no additional cost.
⚠️ Important notice: AICheck is a self-assessment documentation tool, not legal advice and not a third-party audit.

AICheck does not replace a qualified professional assessment.

Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 does not wait. Each high-risk system needs 12 documents under Annex IV. AICheck generates them in 45 minutes per system, 100% in your browser, with no data leaving your device.
