EU AI Act testing services mapped to the articles
By AI Testing Vendors · updated 2026-11-09
For high-risk systems the EU AI Act asks for risk management (Article 9), data governance including bias examination (Article 10) and a conformity assessment (Article 43). Bias audits, model validation and compliance support are the directory services that map to these.

A conformity assessment is carried out by the provider or, for some systems, by a notified body. Testing vendors supply evidence; they do not issue the conformity decision unless they are a notified body.
