Sandbox plan

The agreement between you and the supervisory authority about what you will do in an AI regulatory sandbox: objectives, conditions, timeframe, methodology and requirements. It is a two-sided document, not an internal plan.

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.

What this object states

Official fact

Attributable to a named primary source, with a locator. Where they differ, the official source prevails.

Article 3(54) defines a sandbox plan as a document agreed between the participating provider and the competent authority describing the objectives, conditions, timeframe, methodology and requirements for the activities carried out within the sandbox.

Our interpretation

Our own reading. It can change without the law changing, and it is not the position of a supervisory authority.

The distinction from point 53 is often missed. The real-world testing plan is your own test design; the sandbox plan is a document agreed with the competent authority. That means you cannot change it unilaterally, and departing from the agreed conditions affects your participation in the sandbox. It is also the document with which you can later demonstrate that the supervisor knew what you were doing.

Recommended step

A practical step we consider appropriate. Not an obligation following from the Regulation.

Keep the signed or confirmed sandbox plan under version control and record every change together with the competent authority's agreement. Record in your file which activities fell within the agreed scope and which were kept outside it.
