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 18284 (Artificial intelligence: Quality and governance of datasets in AI) is the JTC 21 deliverable under M/613 for Article 10 of the AI Act, which sets requirements for the training, validation and testing datasets of high-risk AI systems. As at June 2026 the deliverable was at the drafting 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.

Article 10 is where most organisations actually fail, because they never recorded the provenance and processing history of their data. prEN 18284 will turn that recording into a normative requirement. The common mistake is waiting for the standard before starting data lineage: that documentation is almost impossible to reconstruct retroactively. What you do not record now cannot be proven two years from now.

Recommended step

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

Start a dataset passport per high-risk system now: provenance, collection method, processing steps, representativeness for the intended user population, known gaps and the bias examination performed. Use the ISO/IEC 5259 series as an interim structure and keep the fields generic so they can be renamed to the terminology of the final EN 18284.
