Scope a voluntary code of conduct and separate it from your duties

Choose the paragraph 1 or the paragraph 2 route, name which requirements you apply voluntarily and which you do not, give the code clear objectives and key performance indicators, and keep the voluntary commitments administratively separate from the obligations that continue to apply in full.

The official source remains authoritative. This is general information about obligations and not legal advice. See this object on the map

What this object links to

Every relation appears below as a path: from the source with its locator, through the conditions and exceptions of the object carrying the relation, to the consequence. A locator belongs to a statement in the data and not to a relation, so the source is the source anchor of the carrying object.

- Condition | allParagraph 1 expressly concerns AI systems other than high-risk AI systems, and the voluntary application to them of some or all of the requirements set out in Chapter III, Section 2. Paragraph 2 is wider and concerns the voluntary application, including by deployers, of specific requirements to all AI systems, on the basis of clear objectives and key performance indicators to measure the achievement of those objectives. Article 95 sits in Chapter X, which is named in none of the three exceptions in the third paragraph of Article 113; the general date of application in the second paragraph therefore governs, 2 August 2026.
- Condition | any ofParagraph 3 sets out who may draw up a code of conduct: individual providers or deployers of AI systems, organisations representing them, or both, including with the involvement of any interested stakeholders and their representative organisations, including civil society organisations and academia. A code may cover one or more AI systems, taking into account the similarity of the intended purpose of the relevant systems.
- ExceptionArticle 95 contains no provision that sets aside, suspends or replaces an obligation under this Regulation. The word voluntary refers to the application of requirements that precisely do not apply to the system concerned, and not to the requirements that do apply. A code of conduct on AI literacy leaves Article 4 untouched, and a code of conduct on transparency leaves Article 50 untouched.
As long as this exception is not ruled out, the outcome stays conditional and you have to establish it yourself.
