The company and its results are invented. 01 What nerix checks ## Forty-five duties, from the register of AI systems to incident reporting. The library holds Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 as 45 requirements, in full with a link to the official text. They include a register of AI systems in use, risk classification, your role for each system, prohibited practices, AI literacy of staff, supplier checks before buying AI, human oversight, logging, transparency to people affected, disclosure when people talk to AI and marking of AI content. The high-risk duties are there too, such as the risk management system, data quality, technical documentation, conformity assessment, the EU declaration and registration, monitoring and serious incident reporting. nerix looks in your documents for each duty. A document that only mentions it counts as Partly found, and a person confirms every result. - Know your AI Register of AI systems in use, risk classification, your role per system, supplier checks before buying AI. - For every user Prohibited practices, AI literacy of staff, disclosure when people talk to AI, informing people affected. - High-risk systems Risk management, data quality and bias, technical documentation, logging, human oversight, accuracy and cybersecurity. - Before and after use Conformity assessment, declaration and registration, monitoring, corrective action and serious incident reporting. 02 Does it apply to you ## Using AI is not enough to be high risk, and nerix tells them apart. nerix has two rules. The first covers every provider or deployer of an AI system with a link to the EU. The second, high risk, needs an AI system used for a purpose in Annex III, such as employment, education or essential services, or as a safety component. Using AI at all is not enough for the second. The rule notes the dates already running: prohibited practices and AI literacy from 2 February 2025, the duties for general-purpose models from 2 August 2025 and the transparency duties of Article 50 from 2 August 2026. When nerix lacks a fact, such as whether you use or provide AI, it asks instead of assuming. - Scope You provide or use an AI system, with a link to the EU. - High risk An Annex III use or a safety component, and you are asked when your facts do not settle it. - Dates The dates the duties start to run are kept in the rule. 03 Where it stops ## It reads your paperwork. It does not classify your AI for you. nerix does not inspect your AI systems, test them for bias or decide your risk class. It checks whether you have written down what the Act asks you to write down, and whether the records exist. The risk class and conformity decisions stay with you and your advisers. Its rules for who is covered were written from the Regulation with their citations and carry no recorded human review yet. There is no dedicated set-up pack for the AI Act. Following it in Certifications adds a general law plan, with a yearly review of the laws that apply and a yearly risk review. The check itself is the AI Act readiness plan. Readiness information, not an audit or legal advice. Readiness information, not an audit, a certificate or legal advice. **Fig. 4** Readiness by standard 04 Questions ## Questions Does the EU AI Act apply to my business? + If you provide or use an AI system with a link to the EU, yes for the general duties such as AI literacy.

Does the check cover general-purpose models? + Yes, there is a requirement for contractual assurance for general-purpose AI models, and the rule keeps the date those duties started. Has a lawyer reviewed the rules? + No. The scope rules were written from the Regulation with their citations and carry no recorded human review yet. Treat the result as readiness information. Can nerix keep our register of AI systems? + The check looks for a register of AI systems in use as a document you hold. nerix does not keep that register for you yet. Is it finished? + It is early access. The readiness check, plan, issues and business reviews work today. Tell us what you are missing. Need something this does not do?
