Regulation (EU) 2024/3015, EUR-Lex
The regulation prohibiting products made with forced labour on the Union market.
Know the supplier before the product reaches the EU.
From 14 December 2027, products made with forced labour may not be placed on, made available on or exported from the EU market.
Fill Easy returns registry evidence on who each supplier is and who owns it.
A product ban, investigated on risk.
Regulation (EU) 2024/3015 bans products made with forced labour, at any stage of production, from the EU market. National authorities and the Commission investigate on a risk basis and can order a product withdrawn.
The Commission publishes guidelines and a database of forced labour risk areas and products. Operators under investigation are asked for information on their suppliers and the steps they have taken.

Questions about EU Forced Labour Regulation
Not covered here? Ask our team
Does Fill Easy make us compliant with EU Forced Labour Regulation?
No. The due diligence duty sits with your firm under EU Forced Labour Regulation, and your policies decide what is enough. Fill Easy supplies the evidence those policies rely on: records from the government or registry source, each showing where and when it was retrieved.
Does the regulation apply to companies outside the EU?
It applies to products, not to where a company is based. Any product placed on the EU market is covered, so non-EU manufacturers supplying EU buyers will be asked for this information.
