This appears when the required field is absent, null or blank at the path reported by the finding.

What the check requires

If this record is being prepared for producer registration, name the relevant Member State. This field is route-dependent and does not create a national-format registration.

A warning — it does not block deterministic validation, but it remains recorded for review.

Why this is reported

This appears when the required field is absent, null or blank at the path reported by the finding. The deterministic PPWR validator reports it as rule ppwr.epr.member-state. The requirement and citation come from versioned profile 1.0.3; Clearlane does not replace them with an AI-generated verdict.

How it gets fixed

Follow the finding path and add the required source data or evidence named in the rule message. Run validation again. Clearlane never fills a compliance value by guessing.
