EU Forced Labour Regulation readiness tool

How ready are you if an authority asks what you have done?

From 14 December 2027, products made with forced labour may not be placed on, made available on, or exported from the EU market. The ban applies to every company, of any size, in any sector. This tool shows how ready you are if an authority asks what you have done about it.

Scope and limits

A ban, not a duty

The Regulation bans products. It creates no due diligence obligation, but authorities ask what you have done before they open an investigation.

Voluntary guidance

Results are measured against the Commission's non-binding guidelines. Questions that go beyond them are marked as such.

Not a certificate

A strong result does not certify compliance or shield you from a decision. The tool is not legal advice.

Private by design

One file that runs in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere. Download it to work offline.

Sources and standards

Regulation (EU) 2024/3015 and the Commission's guidelines on it (C/2026/4637), checked question by question. The 14 forced labour indicators and 10 indicators of state-imposed forced labour set out in those guidelines. OECD due diligence guidance. Risk data from the ILO and the US Department of Labor, until the EU's own risk database is published.

For smaller companies

Under 250 employees, the tool shows the lighter standard the Commission describes for SMEs wherever there is one. The ban itself applies in full.

For whom

Compliance, procurement and sustainability teams preparing for enforcement, and anyone who has to brief a board on where the company stands.

Start with the risk map

It takes a few minutes and tells you which parts of the assessment matter most for your supply chain.
