One page per clause
The requirement in our words, the evidence an assessor asks for, the common gaps and what to do before publication.
Open the registerSix annexes, all informative
Annexes A to F support the normative clauses with concepts, methods and context. None of them creates a requirement. Each page says so, because an assessment finding has to rest on a clause, not on guidance. Use them to think, and the clauses to require.
| Annex | Record | The answer in one line | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Conceptualizing Bias | Annex A is informative. It explains how bias is understood, how it is categorized and how the profile fits the life cycle. | Informative |
| B | Stakeholder Identification | Annex B is informative. It offers methods for physical attributes, impacted and influencing stakeholders, diversity, protected attributes and fairness definitions. | Informative |
| C | Guidance for Risk and Impact Assessment | Annex C is informative. It offers tasks for the assessment and points to additional resources. | Informative |
| D | Measuring Bias | Annex D is informative. It discusses metrics, reference values, the granularity of testing and further resources. | Informative |
| E | Cultural Aspects | Annex E is informative. It discusses how cultural bias affects systems and how systems affect culture. | Informative |
| F | Bibliography | Annex F is informative. It lists the bibliography; it adds no requirement and no normative reference. | Informative |
Why the label matters. If someone tells you that Annex B requires a particular stakeholder method, ask which normative clause does. The annex can be the best explanation of a clause without adding an obligation.
