Risk Assessment is an integral part of EUDR Compliance (Article 10). Though there are no specific requirements in EUDR towards the Risk Assessment, our system is designed to obtain information that has been used under various best Risk Assessment Frameworks that helps in making the supply chain efficient and compliant.
Risk Assessment at farmer-level is the most important and integral aspect of EUDR Compliance. Each farmer shall take part in the full effect in this process of Risk Assessment
Once the farmer has been subjected to Risk Assessment, he/she will be subjected to an internal Risk rating process. This process shall categorize the farmer into the following 3 categories:
As a vital part of the rubber supply chain; dealers, sub-dealers, manufacturers and processors serve as crucial connection points between farmers and end-users. Although many dealers and sub-dealers may also be rubber farmers, they must undergo a separate risk assessment process in their capacity as a dealer or sub-dealer.
Approved sub-dealers are assigned to the farmers under their management to ensure structured oversight and traceability.
Sub-dealers are also connected to the next level of dealers, whether they are main dealers or other sub-dealers, to streamline the supply chain.
Sub-dealers receive comprehensive training on using the IntelliTrack application, which is essential for recording, tracking, collecting, batching, and invoicing rubber consignments.
They are subject to an annual compliance review by the Rubber Board of India under EUDR regulations, ensuring ongoing adherence to standards.
Approved dealers/manufacturers/processors are listed on the portal, making them visible to end buyers and exporters for selection, which facilitates market transactions.
All sub-dealers and farmers associated with a dealers/manufacturers/processors are automatically mapped under them, enhancing the management and traceability within the supply chain.
dealers/manufacturers/processors are provided with full training on the IntelliTrack app to proficiently handle collection, batching, and invoicing of rubber consignments.
Dealers/manufacturers/processors undergo an annual review by the Rubber Board under EUDR compliance to ensure continuous adherence to regulatory standards.
Yes, it is mandatory to conduct Risk Assessment as per EUDR Article 10 which states that " Exporters must collect comprehensive information about the products, including their origin, the legality of production, and any risks associated with deforestation.”
Farmers need to answer few questions and provide information to ensure that Rubber have been produced in accordance with the relevant legislation of the country of production (India). This data is used to assess their compliance with EUDR regulations.
Farmers must complete an initial risk assessment, followed by annual reviews to ensure ongoing compliance with EUDR standards and local regulations.
Farmers receive support in the form of Risk Mitigation Plan and full assistance to reduce the risk, abide by the mitigation plan and comply with EUDR requirements.
The risk assessment aims to ensure that dealers and sub-dealers comply with both EUDR and local Indian regulations. It focuses on legal compliance, material segregation, policy documentation, and providing necessary training. This process helps maintain the integrity and transparency of the rubber supply chain from farmers to end-users.
The risk assessment process for dealers and sub-dealers includes a self-assessment survey and a requirement to upload specific policy documents on a centralized portal. The survey evaluates compliance with EUDR standards, while the uploaded documents, such as SOPs and segregation policies, are reviewed to verify adherence to these standards. This dual approach ensures comprehensive compliance assessment.
The risk assessment process includes an initial evaluation and subsequent annual reviews. These reviews ensure ongoing compliance with the EUDR standards and local regulations, helping address any changes or updates in compliance requirements.
Upon successful completion of the risk assessment, dealers and sub-dealers receive approval. Approved sub-dealers are mapped to farmers and dealers, and both dealers and sub-dealers receive training on the IntelliTrack application for managing rubber consignments. This status is subject to an annual review to maintain compliance.
Support includes guidance materials on drafting compliant policies, workshops, and training to help understand and implement the necessary compliance measures. This assistance is designed to help dealers and sub-dealers not only pass the risk assessment but also maintain their compliance status effectively.
