# Ship instructions for use with a high-risk AI system

For AI agents: the [site map](https://agentwranglers.se/llms.txt) lists everything here, and this page sits under [Help centres and user guides](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/documentation/help-centres-and-user-guides.md).

By [Agent Wranglers](https://agentwranglers.se/authors/agent-wranglers.md). Updated 2026-10-27.

- ID: DOC-43
- Level: Required
- Chapter: [Help centres and user guides](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/documentation/help-centres-and-user-guides.md)
- Rule: When you provide a high-risk AI system, give deployers instructions for use with every item in AI Act Article 13(3). Ship them before the system reaches the market.
- Check: For each system marked high-risk in the AI register, a test fetches its instructions page. The page has one section for each of the points (a) to (f) of Article 13(3), and the accuracy figures match the latest eval report.
- Risk: A law broken
- Applies when: The project uses AI models.
- Region: European Union (EU). The duty comes from the law there. The rule applies only when the project serves people there, and its Applies when also holds.
- Review by: 2027-12-02
- How: Article 13 asks for instructions that are concise, complete, correct and clear, in a digital format deployers can use. They name the provider and contact details. They state the intended purpose, the accuracy with its metrics, robustness and cybersecurity, and the known risks of use and misuse. They describe the human oversight measures, the computing and hardware needs, the expected lifetime and the updates. Where relevant, they explain how deployers collect and read the logs. Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 moved the start for Annex III systems to 2 December 2027, and to 2 August 2028 for Annex I products. Whether a feature is high-risk is decided in [Find out if a feature is high-risk](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/compliance/ai-act/ai-high-risk-check.md). Start from the card in [Publish a system card for every AI feature](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/documentation/help-centres-and-user-guides/ai-system-card.md).

## Examples

**Using these examples:** they show one way to follow this rule. Keep the behaviour and the check, not the syntax. Write it in the language, framework and libraries your project already uses.

### JavaScript example

```js
const ARTICLE_13_SECTIONS = ['Provider', 'Characteristics and limits', 'Planned changes', 'Human oversight', 'Resources and lifetime', 'Logs'];

export async function missingSections(url) {
  const page = await (await fetch(url)).text();
  return ARTICLE_13_SECTIONS.filter(section => !page.includes(`<h2>${section}</h2>`));
}
```

### Python example

```python
import urllib.request

ARTICLE_13_SECTIONS = ["Provider", "Characteristics and limits", "Planned changes", "Human oversight", "Resources and lifetime", "Logs"]

def missing_sections(url: str) -> list[str]:
    page = urllib.request.urlopen(url).read().decode()
    return [section for section in ARTICLE_13_SECTIONS if f"<h2>{section}</h2>" not in page]
```
