What this checks
Mapping, sites, region risk, labour indicators, subcontractors, traceability, escalation, and remediation.
Who should use it
Teams preparing visibility before an authority question.
How results work
A missing category is an evidence gap. An unknown answer stays in review.
Application date
From 2027-12-14 a product made with forced labour may not be placed on the EU market, made available there, or exported from the EU. Origin and product category do not remove that prohibition. This regulation does not create a generic audit duty or a recurring report.
Official sources
Commission risk resources and the SME checklist sit beside the regulation text.
Limitations
No file is stored and no generic reporting duty is created.
