Code of practice
The General-Purpose AI Code of Practice
The General-Purpose AI code of practice was delivered on 10 July 2025 by thirteen independent experts following input from more than one thousand stakeholders. The code consists of three chapters: Transparency and Copyright for all providers of general-purpose AI models, and Safety and Security only for providers of models with systemic risk. Signature is voluntary, but the Commission and the AI Board confirmed the code on 1 August 2025 as an adequate instrument, allowing signatories to demonstrate their obligations with less administrative burden. Those who do not sign must substantiate compliance in another, equally adequate manner.
What this means for you
Dutch organisations that offer or fine-tune their own general-purpose AI model can use this to demonstrate compliance, and purchasers can use it as a supplier requirement now that general-purpose AI enforcement has been running since 2 August 2026.
