Signatories of the code of practice

      The code of practice helps industry comply with the AI Act legal obligations on safety, transparency and copyright of general-purpose AI models.

The General-Purpose AI (GPAI) code of practice is a voluntary tool, prepared by
independent experts
 in a multi-stakeholder process, designed to help industry comply with the AI Act’s obligations for providers of general-purpose AI models. Read more about the
timeline and the drafting process of the code
.

The
code was published on July 10, 2025
. It is complemented by
Commission guidelines
 on key concepts related to general-purpose AI models. The
Commission
 and the
AI Board
 have confirmed that the code is an
adequate voluntary tool
 for providers of GPAI models to demonstrate compliance with the AI Act.

Following the endorsement, AI model providers who voluntarily sign it can show they comply with the AI Act by adhering to the code. This will
reduce their administrative burden
 and give them
more legal certainty
and trust than if they proved compliance through other methods. Find more information on the
questions and answers (Q&A) about the GPAI code of practice
. Signatories of the Code have established the
Signatory Taskforce
, chaired by the AI Office, to facilitate a coherent application of the Code. The
Vademecum
 contains the rules of procedure and the list of members.

Providers of general-purpose AI models may sign the code by completing the
Signatory Form
 and sending the signed form to
EU-AIOFFICE-CODE-SIGNATURES@ec.europa.eu
. Potential Signatories may also email this address to ask any questions on the process of signing up to the code. Read more information about the
signature process
 in this this
dedicated Q&A
.
