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.

prEN 18229-1 (AI trustworthiness framework, Part 1: Logging) is the JTC 21 deliverable under M/613 for Article 12 of the AI Act: high-risk AI systems must technically allow for the automatic recording of events over their lifetime. As at June 2026 the deliverable was at the Enquiry stage. It has not yet been published as an EN and is not cited in the Official Journal.

Our interpretation

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

Logging is the obligation that is cheapest to get right now and most expensive to repair later, because a system that does not log cannot start logging retroactively. Mind the split of roles: the provider must build in the logging capability, the deployer must retain the logs. Buying a system without checking whether it logs means buying a hole in your own dossier. This standard is still a draft text and therefore carries no evidentiary weight yet.

Recommended step

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

Put the logging requirement in your procurement terms and in the acceptance test: which events are recorded, with what timestamp, how long they are retained, and how you export them to a supervisory authority. Document those answers per system now, so the final EN 18229-1 only needs to be mapped against what you already record.

When this applies

1Providers build in the logging capability (Article 12) and keep the logs under their control (Article 19); deployers retain the logs generated by the system (Article 26(6)).

When this does not apply
