Geocledian’s risk assessment tool EUDR Check is a comprehensive monitoring system that combines advanced satellite technology and data-driven analytics to address the requirements of EUDR compliance. With EUDR Check you get an easy-to-integrate API solution for handling geospatial data and defining a workflow for deforestation assessment.
EUDR check was designed to provide beyond state-of-the-art deforestation checks. For the purpose of EUDR it is superior to many existing methods such as provided by Global Forest Watch or similar.

In order to validate fields as deforestation-free, reliable mapping is required as a first step. Geocledian provides a mobile app for data collection and results validation: High quality data collection avoiding common location and geometry errors including data upload into the cloud. An enhanced version can be used to collect evidence in case of a deforestation alarm.
The EUDR Check service provides comprehensive validation checks to ensure compliance with the geolocation requirements of the EUDR. These are carried out for the individual geolocation object and the collection (batch) of geolocations forming the shipment. The validation covers location, quality of technical data, plausibility check and overlap checks.
Deforestation risk assessment on regional level according to § 10 of the EUDR:
- Determine regional deforestation risk: low – mid – high
- Assess risk of mixing and circumvention
Detailed risk assessment specific to individual plot of lands, ensuring targeted compliance assessments and the EUDR requirements:
- Deforestation free assessment (Article 3a) – auditable & transparent: no risk – or – non negligible risk
- For oil palm, soya, rubber, coffee, cocoa, beef, leather, wood
- Check 31.12.2020 against exact harvest date (satellite time series)
- Low rates of false deforestation alarms
- EUDR Check Test Protocol: Once the analysis is done, users receive detailed outputs in various formats such as PDF and GeoJSON, including visual maps and statistical summaries, to aid in reporting, decision-making and auditing.

FAQs
We are using various datasets to conduct the EUDR risk analysis, e.g. Sentinel-1 SAR, Sentinel-2 and other open datasets. The datasets are augmented and improved by methods developed by Geocledian. Final results are verified and validated by samples. Please contact us for further details – we are happy to share a methodology description and the complete list of datasets to our customers to be fully transparent.
Geolocations are mandatory for EUDR. These need to be submitted in GeoJSON format to the EU, hence the providers shall be able to submit them also. GeoJSON (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeoJSON) is supported by many geographic tools or GIS system.
Features supported are: Points (required for areas up to 4 ha) or Polygons. In case of cut-outs in polygons Multipolygons may be used.
It is sufficient to supply plain GeoJSON without attributes, however EU recommends to use and fill the following properties:
- Property:
- „ProducerName“ and „ProducerCountry“.
- Optional property:
- „ProductionPlace“ – the name of the location,
- „Area“ for points, if omitted it will be set to 4ha by the EU
For checking the formating of GeoJSON you may use geojsonlint.
For more information on the GeoJSON format recommended by the EU you may find here.
Please refer to our product documentation pages which you can find here.
The quality of deforestation assessment is essential. For this reason we are using only scientifically validated dataset from renown sources. Our methodology is well described and transparent, no black box applies. Our results are continuously monitored and validated to minimize false positives (false deforestation alerts) and false negatives (unrecognized deforestation). More detailed information and assessments you will soon find of our docs page.
