Annex IX AI Act

Annex IX describes the information to be submitted upon registration of high-risk AI systems from Annex III that are tested in real world conditions, in accordance with Article 60.

There are 5 mandatory data points: (1) a Union-wide unique identification number, (2) name and contact details of provider and involved deployers, (3) description of the AI system and intended purpose, (4) summary of the testing plan, and (5) information on suspension or termination.

To ensure transparency and oversight. Real world tests with high-risk AI systems may pose risks to involved persons. Registration enables authorities to monitor tests and intervene if necessary.

You must register a summary of the main characteristics of the testing plan (point 4). The full plan does not need to be made public but must be available to authorities.

Point 5 requires that information on the suspension or termination of the test is registered and kept up to date.

No, Annex IX only applies to high-risk AI systems listed in Annex III that are tested in real world conditions under Article 60. Regular tests in controlled environments are not covered.

The provider or prospective provider is responsible for submitting the registration information. Contact details of involved deployers must also be provided.

The Union-wide unique identification number is assigned upon registration in the EU database. This number enables the test to be traced and monitored.
