This product is an independent, editable organizational template for AI governance documentation and internal readiness preparation.

It is not an official EU institution publication, certified compliance system, formal conformity assessment, or guarantee of EU AI Act compliance.

The workbook does not automatically determine legally binding AI Act risk classifications, perform Annex III legal assessments, establish regulatory applicability, or generate official regulatory submissions.

Its classifications, scores, readiness indicators, risk thresholds, and management outputs require independent professional review.

Users must verify applicable requirements and deadlines under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, as amended, including the changes introduced in 2026, and consider their specific AI systems, organizational roles, sectors, and jurisdictions.
