AIUC certification standard for deployed AI agents and systems. The July 15, 2026 release has 51 live requirements: 43 mandatory and 8 optional. E007 and E014 are retained as withdrawn placeholders. Numbered sub-controls (for example A008.1) are not modeled. Requirement status, frequency and source links were verified against the official pages on 2026-09-10. The community navigator still uses its April 2026 snapshot: its 51 rows include E007 and E014 and omit A008 and B010. Applicability depends on the agent capabilities and audit scope.

Requirements and control mappings

“Full” and “Partial” describe the catalog mapping to a unified control. A partial mapping includes the remaining requirement. These mappings do not establish an organization’s implementation or certification.
