can I export a separate file with all my standard answers
Yes, as a standalone overview alongside the completed questionnaire
You can export an overview from the supply chain file of all standard answers, separate from a specific questionnaire from a customer. That overview shows per topic which answer is in the file and which supporting document belongs to it — for example the ISO 9001 certificate or the statement of the number of employees. Useful if you want to check yourself what is on file, or if you want to transfer an answer to a questionnaire that the system does not automatically recognize.
What the overview is not: a completed questionnaire for a customer, and also not a declaration or certificate from us. It is an export of the data that is in the supply chain file, with the source reference included. For a list that comes from a portal, the process remains the same: upload, have it completed, confirm per answer, submit yourself. The export is an additional form alongside that process, not a replacement for it. If the file has no supporting document for a section — say, no current statement on in which countries the enterprise has establishments — then that field in the export is also blank or marked as "incomplete". Nothing is filled in that is not substantiated.
No statutory export requirement, but practical value
There is no article that requires a supplier to be able to export such a standalone overview — this does not follow from the Trade Register Act 2007, the CSRD Directive (EU) 2022/2464, NIS2 article 21(2) or ISO/IEC 27001. Those regulations do determine which data is relevant and which evidence belongs to it, but nothing about the form in which an entrepreneur stores or exports his own answers. The export function is therefore a convenience feature of the platform, not an obligation under a law or standard.
What this is based on
- Trade Register Act 2007 — the data recorded for each company
- EFRAG VSME — the voluntary standard for non-listed SMEs, basic module
- Directive (EU) 2022/2464 (CSRD)
- ISO/IEC 27001 — Annex A, the control measures
- Directive (EU) 2022/2555 (NIS2), Article 21(2) — the ten measures
