Data Definitions
ConformitySchemeVocabulary
A conformity scheme as a structured hierarchy of conformity critera.
| Property | Definition | Type |
|---|---|---|
| id | The identifier of this scheme as a URI. Typically of the form ownerDomain.schemeName. | URI |
| name | The name of this conformity scheme | Text |
| description | The description of this conformity scheme | Text |
| version | Version of this scheme folling SemVer best practive (major.minor.patch). | Text |
| validFrom | The data from which this scheme version is valid. | Date |
| owner | The party that is the owner / maintainer of this conformity scheme. | Party |
| trustMark | The trust mark or seal used by this conformity scheme. | Binary |
| conformityCriterion | A list of criterion defined by this scheme. | ConformityCriterion |
| regulatoryAlignment | Regulations to which this conformity scheme is aligned. | Regulation |
| industryScope | A classification scheme and code / name representing a category value for a product, entity, or facility. | Classification |
| geographicScope | A classification scheme and code / name representing a category value for a product, entity, or facility. | Classification |
| performanceLevelCodes | An optional list of performance levels (eg C, B, A, AA) defined by the scheme and used to assign criterion to the relevant performance level. | LevelCode |
| tagCodes | A codelist of tags defined by the scheme and used to tag criterion for filtering and sorting. | TagCode |
ConformityCriterion
A conformity criterion under the scheme. Note that the same criterion ID may be reused across multiple schemes (particularly across different versions of the same scheme).
| Property | Definition | Type |
|---|---|---|
| id | A unique identifier for the criterion within the scheme, standard or regulation. For example CO2 emissions calculations for liquid fuel combustion. | URI |
| name | A name that describes this criteria. | Text |
| description | A full text description of the criterion that clearly specifies how compliance is achieved and measured. | Text |
| conformityTopic | A gloabl UN/CEFACT standard sustainability toipic code. | Code |
| status | The lifecycle status of this criterion. | Code |
| thresholdValue | A threshold value that defines the minimum compliance level. | Metric |
| performanceLevel | A performance category code to group criterion in a given hierarchyLevel according to pareformance | Text |
| tags | a category code to reporent target stakholder types or commodity types to which this criteron applies. | Text |
| subCriterion | A list of sub-criteria under this criterion. | ConformityCriterion |
| category | A set of classification codes that may be used to catgorise the applicability of this criteria - for example industry sector, jurisdiction, commodity type. | Classification |
LevelCode
A list of performance level codes that may be assigned to criterion. Conformity at a higher level requires conformity agaisnt all criteria at lower levels.
| Property | Definition | Type |
|---|---|---|
| name | The name of the performance level (eg "B") | Text |
| rank | The rank of the conformance level where a higher number indicates a higher performance. | Integer |
| description | A description of this conformity performance level within the scheme. | Text |
TagCode
A code list of target groups () that are the object of confomance for this scheme.
| Property | Definition | Type |
|---|---|---|
| name | Tag name used to classify criterion | Text |
| description | A full text description of the criterion that clearly specifies how compliance is achieved and measured. | Text |
Party
From unece.untp-core

| name | The name of the identifier scheme. | Text |
Classification
From unece.untp-core
A classification scheme and code / name representing a category value for a product, entity, or facility.
| Property | Definition | Type |
|---|---|---|
| id | The globally unique URI representing the specific classifier value | URI |
| code | classification code within the scheme | Text |
| name | Name of the classification represented by the code | Text |
| schemeID | Classification scheme ID | URI |
