Audit & Evidence Retention Engine

Keep the evidence for as long as the obligation actually requires.

Build an EU27 packaging-compliance evidence archive with country-specific retention rules, PPWR technical-document periods, EPR reporting records, PRO and payment evidence, file fingerprints, legal holds and audit-response packs.

Retention principle

There is no single “keep everything for five years” rule.

PPWR technical documentation has its own 5-year / 10-year periods. National packaging-EPR records, PRO contracts, audit evidence, tax documents, marketplace confirmations and special-levy records can follow different periods and triggers. The engine stores the legal basis and retention trigger for each record instead of assigning one universal deletion date.

Step 01

Retention & audit route

Separates EU technical-document retention from national EPR/operator records and audit obligations.

Evidence archive

Add compliance evidence manually, attach files, or import records from the other Beyoğlu Professional compliance engines.

Step 03

Retention matrix

Calculates keep-until dates only when the legal/contractual retention period and trigger are known. Unverified periods remain unresolved rather than receiving a guessed deletion date.

File integrity & provenance

SHA-256 fingerprints allow you to demonstrate that a retained file matches the file previously indexed in the evidence register.

Attach evidence files to compute fingerprints.
A cryptographic hash proves file identity, not legal validity. The engine does not create a qualified electronic timestamp, qualified electronic seal or notarisation.
Step 05

Audit / authority request tracker

Build a controlled response set for an authority, PRO, auditor or marketplace request.

Request details

Deadline logic

For a PPWR Article 15(10) reasoned technical-conformity request, the Regulation requires relevant documentation within 10 days of receipt. Other authority, PRO, tax and marketplace requests may use different deadlines; enter the controlling deadline rather than reusing the PPWR 10-day rule.

No active request.
Step 06

Audit-readiness gap check

Checks required evidence classes, unresolved retention, missing fingerprints, expired records and legal-hold conflicts.

InformationAdd evidence records to run the gap check.
Step 07

Legal hold & deletion control

A legal hold suspends deletion even after the ordinary retention date. Use it for open audits, disputes, investigations, corrections or other preservation requirements.

Do not auto-delete

Archive deletion policy

The engine never deletes evidence automatically. A calculated “keep until” date means the ordinary retention period has been reached; deletion still requires human review of legal hold, open audits, correction windows, tax/accounting rules, litigation risk and contractual requirements.

No legal holds currently recorded.
Step 08

Export the audit evidence pack

Create an indexed archive with retention status, source provenance, SHA-256 hashes, legal-hold flags and the files currently available in this browser session.
