Tracker Guidance
When a competent authority makes a reasoned request, provide the information and documentation necessary to demonstrate conformity with the high-risk AI requirements in a language the authority can readily understand from the official EU languages indicated by the relevant Member State. Where applicable, also provide access to Article 12 logs under the provider's control. For Article 6(1)/Annex I systems, check Article 2(13) for any permitted limitation based on equivalent or higher sectoral requirements.
