Self-declared verification
A self-declared actor has stated their own compliance without independent verification. This is the starting point — it is better than no declaration, but offers minimal assurance to customs and procurement teams.
On the public viewer, self-declared actors show a "Self-declared" badge. Customs officers treat self-declared supply chains as lower assurance.
Document-verified verification
A document-verified actor has uploaded and attached compliance certificates to their supply chain entry in EU Digital Passport Processor. Accepted document types include:
- RMI (Responsible Minerals Initiative) audit certificates
- ISO 14001 environmental management certificates
- ISO 45001 occupational health and safety certificates
- Conflict Minerals declarations (OECD, CMRT)
- REACH compliance declarations
- Custom compliance documents
On the public viewer, document-verified actors show a "Verified" badge with the document types and issuing bodies listed.
Compliance strength scoring
Compliance strength is calculated from the combination of actor verification levels across your supply chain:
| Score | Meaning |
|---|---|
| BASIC | Most actors self-declared; minimal documentation |
| GOOD | Mix of self-declared and document-verified |
| STRONG | Most actors document-verified |
| VERIFIED | All actors document-verified with recognised certificates |
| Section | Entry | Reviewed |
|---|---|---|
