E11. Break-Glass Procedure Documentation Emergency override and shutdown procedures implementing Article 14’s requirement for the ability to stop, disable, or intervene. Documents activation criteria, authorised personnel, escalation paths, mandatory post-activation review, and evidence preservation requirements. The technical implementation ensures the override mechanism functions independently of the model inference pipeline. Tested before deployment and annually thereafter. Post-activation review is mandatory; each activation produces a dated record. Responsible party: AI Governance Lead approves the procedures. Technical SME designs the technical implementation. Regulations addressed: Article 14(4)(e) (ability to stop, override, or reverse); Article 14(4)(f) (ability to intervene or interrupt); Article 73(6) (evidence preservation); Article 15 (cybersecurity, last-resort defence). Key outputs

• Activation criteria with authorised personnel
• Independence verification (mechanism operates outside inference pipeline)
• Post-activation review protocol
