UK EPR submission preflight checklist
A reusable checklist for field, row, cross-row and evidence review before a packaging-data file is handed off for submission.
How to use it
Copy, assign owners, then attach real evidence.
A checklist is useful only if each item has an owner and a verifiable state. Do not mark an item complete because a tool returned a green badge.

The template is an operating aid, not certification.
Use the checklist to structure evidence, ownership and review. It does not replace the authoritative system, regulator, specialist audit, legal advice or professional judgement that may apply to the underlying job.
