Need costing + MOQ + lead time (fast)?

If you’re planning a woven, denim, or outerwear program from Bangladesh, use the RFQ page that matches your product. You’ll get a structured buyer-first flow: feasibility → shortlisting → costing → sampling → bulk.

Request a correction / add a milestone

If you spot an error or want a milestone added, send the source link and the exact date (or date range + precision). I’ll review and update the dataset version accordingly.

Methodology

How this dataset is built (verification-first)

This page and dataset follow a strict “no guessing” rule: entries are added only when the date and claim can be supported by a source link. Dates are stored with explicit precision (day/month/year).

Scope

  • Focus: governance milestones connected to Bangladesh RMG workplace safety oversight.
  • Programs: Accord / RSC / International Accord (and related transitions/renewals).
  • Goal: help buyers verify key dates quickly and document diligence decisions.
Dataset type: timeline Buyer-first Source-linked

Date precision rules (no guessing)

  • If an official source provides a specific day, we store YYYY-MM-DD (day precision).
  • If only month/year is provided, we store YYYY-MM (month precision).
  • If only year is provided, we store YYYY (year precision).
  • We never “invent” a day for a month-only source.
In the CSV/XLSX, check date + date_precision.

Verification rules

  • Every row includes at least one primary source URL.
  • When a date is commonly misstated or disputed, a secondary source may be added.
  • Entries are marked by verification_status (e.g., verified / needs review).
  • Claims are written narrowly (no broad “covers all factories” statements unless explicitly sourced).

Updates & versioning

  • Dataset versions use simple increments (v1, v2, …).
  • The page “Last updated” should match the dataset revision date.
  • Corrections require: source link + date precision + short note (what changed and why).
  • Old versions may be retained for audit traceability (when needed).

Downloads & how to cite

For audits and internal documentation, cite the dataset version and the file URL you used. If you share externally, include the dataset page URL + the version label (e.g., v1).

Limitation: this timeline is decision support and does not replace legal advice, program membership verification, or brand compliance audits.

About the Bangladesh Compliance Update Timeline dataset

The Bangladesh Compliance Update Timeline dataset is designed for buyers, compliance teams, and sourcing professionals who need a fast, source-linked reference for key governance milestones connected to Bangladesh RMG workplace safety oversight. It is built for diligence documentation: you can trace each row back to an official source link, and you can see the date precision clearly (day / month / year).

When to use it

  • During onboarding or vendor due diligence to confirm milestone dates quickly.
  • To support internal audit notes (attach the XLSX/CSV to your compliance file).
  • To align sourcing timelines with governance milestones (documentation boundary markers).

Start with Preview dataset, then use Sources for official verification.

What’s inside (field-level)

The dataset is structured to keep verification simple. Common columns include:

  • event_type (the category of milestone)
  • primary_source_title + primary_source_url
  • secondary_source_title + secondary_source_url (when needed)
  • verification_status (review state)
  • notes (short, buyer-friendly context)

For correction requests, use Request a correction and include the official URL + supported date precision.

How to use (fast workflow)

  1. Scan the key milestones in Key milestones.
  2. Use the CSV preview search to filter by milestone wording or source title.
  3. For audits, download XLSX and store it with your diligence evidence pack.
  4. If a source URL changes, report the updated official link.

Versioning (audit-friendly)

  • v1: initial release of the Bangladesh Compliance Update Timeline dataset.
  • Future versions update links, add milestones, or clarify notes — without guessing dates.

See the verification rules in Methodology.

Important: This dataset is informational and supports diligence documentation. It does not certify factories or brands, and it does not replace official program tools, legal advice, or audit reports.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers for buyers, compliance teams, and sourcing professionals who need to use this timeline responsibly.

FAQs

What is this dataset for?

It is a source-linked timeline to help you verify key governance milestones connected to Bangladesh workplace safety oversight. Use it for documentation, internal notes, and diligence checklists.

Does this certify any factory or brand?

No. This is not a certification list and it does not confirm membership, audit outcomes, or compliance status for any specific facility. Use the official sources and program tools for verification.

How should I use “date precision” (day / month / year)?

Treat precision as part of the evidence. If a source only supports a month or year, the dataset keeps that limitation (we do not invent a day). For audit notes, record the precision exactly as shown.

Why are there multiple source fields (primary/secondary)?

Some milestones are best supported by more than one official reference (for example: a program page + a formal document PDF). When included, secondary sources help triangulate wording or date markers.

Should I use XLSX or CSV?

  • XLSX: best for audits and review (clean reading + supporting sheets like README/fields/sources, if included).
  • CSV: best for quick filtering/import into your own system.

I found a mistake or a missing milestone—what should I send?

Send: (1) the official source link, (2) the exact date or supported precision (day/month/year), and (3) a one-line explanation of the correction. Use Request a correction.

Can I cite this dataset in a report or presentation?

Yes—cite the dataset name + version and include the page URL. If you use the files directly, cite the specific file URL you referenced.
