EU AI Act Compliance Checklist is a practical, business-focused workbook designed to help organisations structure their early EU AI Act compliance efforts in a more organised, usable, and cross-functional way. Rather than leaving teams to work through complex requirements in fragmented legal, operational, and technical discussions, this workbook gives them a clear working document to support initial self-assessment, planning, ownership tracking, and implementation preparation. It is especially useful for organisations that want a more disciplined starting point for identifying in-scope AI systems, classifying risk, determining relevant operator roles, and translating requirements into practical actions.
The checklist is structured to support real internal business use. It includes sections covering key milestones and applicability timing, organisational readiness and governance, prohibited AI practices, risk classification and scoping, high-risk AI obligations, deployer obligations, importer, distributor and authorised representative obligations, general-purpose AI obligations, transparency requirements, real-world testing, conformity assessment, post-market monitoring, documentation and record retention, and penalties and enforcement readiness. This makes it valuable not only as a checklist, but also as a working coordination tool across Legal, Compliance, Risk, Security, Product, Data, Procurement, and Operations teams.
A major strength of the workbook is that it does more than list requirements. It gives users a structure to record status, owner, evidence, due dates, and implementation notes, helping organisations convert regulatory obligations into visible actions and accountable workstreams. It also separates obligations by role, such as provider, deployer, importer, distributor, and authorised representative, which helps businesses clarify which duties apply in different operating models and vendor arrangements. The workbook further supports prioritisation by guiding users to begin with organisational readiness, prohibited practices, and risk classification before moving into the more detailed role-based sections.
This workbook is ideal for internal compliance facilitation, gap assessments, planning workshops, and building an initial implementation roadmap.
