Article 95: codes of conduct for voluntary application of specific requirements
The AI Office and the Member States encourage and facilitate the drawing up of codes of conduct, including related governance mechanisms, intended to foster the voluntary application to AI systems other than high-risk AI systems of some or all of the requirements set out in Chapter III, Section 2, taking into account the available technical solutions and industry best practices. They also facilitate codes on the voluntary application of specific requirements to all AI systems, on the basis of clear objectives and key performance indicators, with elements such as the Union ethical guidelines for trustworthy AI, assessing and minimising the impact on environmental sustainability, promoting AI literacy, facilitating an inclusive and diverse design, and assessing and preventing the negative impact on vulnerable persons. Codes may be drawn up by individual providers or deployers or by organisations representing them, and in encouraging and facilitating them the specific interests and needs of SMEs, including start-ups, and of small mid-cap enterprises are taken into account; that last group was added by Article 1, point (35), of Regulation (EU) 2026/1744. This article imposes no duty on the organisation and replaces no obligation.
