EU declaration of conformity (Article 47)
The formal statement a provider of a high-risk AI system draws up once its technical documentation is complete, attesting that the system meets the Act's applicable requirements, signed before the CE marking is affixed and the system reaches the market. Every claim in the data governance chapter is content the signatory is formally attesting to.
Defined in 2 GAGE programs, which carry 3 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in Certified AI Data Governance Professional (CADGP).

Where it shows up at work
A definition is where EU declaration of conformity (Article 47) starts. The lessons above teach it inside the competencies below, which are what job descriptions ask for and what the GAGE credential records. Every link here is drawn from the same careers map that builds a role's readiness check.

How job descriptions say it
Postings rarely use the textbook word. These are the phrases the careers map reads as asking for the competencies above.
Where the frameworks place it: Regulation (EU) 2024/1689; Regulation (EU) 2026/1744; GDPR Article 28; EU AI Act value-chain obligations.
One interview question about it
Classify a specific AI system under the EU AI Act and name the obligations that follow, including what applies now and what is deferred.
Asked of candidates for eu ai act obligations and timelines. Answering it in your own words is exactly how a GAGE topic is passed, and the credential records the pass where an employer can check it.
If you come from another field
Some backgrounds already carry this competency, and the readiness check gives credit for it.
- A law degree (JD, LLB or LLM), no AI work yet carries it as a claim to back up: The EU AI Act reads like the statutes you were trained on; the content is new, the method is not.
- Legal and paralegal work carries it as work you can show: Contract terms are your product.
