The codes of practice should represent a central tool for the proper
compliance with the obligations provided for under this Regulation for providers of
general-purpose AI models. Providers should be able to rely on codes of practice to demonstrate
compliance with the obligations. By means of implementing acts, the Commission may decide to
approve a code of practice and give it a general validity within the Union, or,
alternatively, to provide common rules for the implementation of the relevant obligations, if,
by the time this Regulation becomes applicable, a code of practice cannot be finalised or
is not deemed adequate by the AI Office. Once a harmonised standard is published and
assessed as suitable to cover the relevant obligations by the AI Office, compliance with
a European harmonised standard should grant providers the presumption of conformity.
Providers of general-purpose AI models should furthermore be able to demonstrate compliance
using alternative adequate means, if codes of practice or harmonised standards are not
available, or they choose not to rely on those.
