EUDR Process Architecture (PA)
The proprietary operating layer that defines how the twelve EUDR capabilities connect and operate as one system · Version 1.1
What Is It?
The reference model that shows how the twelve EUDR capability domains fit together as a working operating model.
The PCF classifies what capabilities must exist. The CMA assesses how mature they are today. The Process Architecture defines how those capabilities decompose into activities, where they interface, what each stage requires in people, process, data and systems, and who owns each artefact as work moves through the model.
It is a designed reference standard. Organisations use it to structure their own EUDR operating model rather than starting from a blank page.
Where It Sits
The PCF and CMA are free public reference and assessment tools. The Process Architecture is the first proprietary operating layer. The SOP System, the Process Navigator and EUDR Automate sit above it, each adding greater operational specificity without replacing the architecture beneath.
What It Contains
Version 1.1, 89 pages, covering:
The Value Stream as one whole.
The twelve domains as a single connected operating flow, and the four resource dimensions each stage draws on.
The Authoritative Record Model.
Thirteen named EUDR data objects, each with a single system of record and a defined state lifecycle. Version 1.1 adds controlled relationship types between objects and links each object to the controlled definitions in PCF v1.1, so the record spine and the free reference layer use the same language.
Twelve domain pages with full activity-level decomposition.
Each domain sets out the stage role, the people, process, data and systems it requires, the authoritative object it owns and its operating profile. New in Version 1.1, each domain is decomposed into its individual activities in SIPOC form (suppliers, inputs, process, outputs, customers). That gives 416 activities across the model, reconciled one for one to the twelve Atoxor EUDR SOPs.
The Interface and Handoff Map.
Now presented in two tiers. The first is a readable summary of how the authoritative objects pass between domains. The second is a full register of 125 activity-level interfaces, each with a persistent identifier, showing exactly which output of one activity becomes the input of another.
The ownership model.
The distinction between accountability for an artefact and responsibility for progressing a case, and why they do not move together.
What Is New in Version 1.1
Version 1.1 expands the architecture beneath the Version 1.0 model without changing it. The value stream, the twelve domains and the thirteen authoritative objects are all retained. What has been added is the level of detail needed to trace work from one activity to the next:
416 activities decomposed in SIPOC form, up from subprocess summaries in Version 1.0
125 activity-level interfaces with persistent identifiers, up from object-level handoffs only
29 controlled definitions linked to PCF v1.1
A new Methodology and Referencing Convention explaining how the identifiers connect
Version 1.1 was independently reviewed against its sources. Every activity reconciles to the SOPs and every interface connects at both ends.
Regulatory Currency
Version 1.1 reflects Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 as amended by Regulations (EU) 2024/3234 and (EU) 2025/2650; Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/3084 on the EUDR Information System, as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1565; and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1093 on country-risk classification. Commission Delegated Regulation C(2026)4920, amending the Annex I product scope, was adopted on 13 July 2026 and is treated as a working baseline pending its entry into force. A currency check against EUR-Lex completed on 5 September 2026 identified no later change requiring amendment.
Licence
Licensed to the purchasing organisation for internal use, including adaptation into that organisation's own EUDR documentation and operating model.
Redistribution, resale or provision to third parties, including suppliers, is not permitted.
Organisations wishing to extend a common EUDR structure across their supply chain may direct suppliers to the PCF and CMA, which are free and public and may be shared without licence.
Enterprise, group and supply-chain licensing is available on request.
Full terms are set out in the Stewardship and Licence sections of the document.
What Comes Next
The Process Architecture defines the stages, interfaces and ownership boundaries. The SOP System defines how the work inside those boundaries is performed, controlled, evidenced and reviewed. Twelve integrated SOPs, aligned to the same twelve domains and reconciled activity by activity to the architecture.
