A little structure.
A more confident shift.
Use this plan as the controlled index for your approved withdrawal and recall procedure. It makes responsibilities, evidence sources and escalation explicit without assuming that one template fits every jurisdiction.
Make it specific to your site.
Confirm the competent authority, product scope, approved risk method and delegated decision makers for every site and market. Mark exercise copies clearly.

How to use the downloaded checklist
Open the CSV in your spreadsheet app. Adapt the checks, enter your approved criteria and add any missing site requirements. Use the result, action, owner, due date and verification columns to document follow-up.
Keep the original observation when a check fails. Record the corrective action and verification separately so the full sequence remains clear.
