• [x] Confirmation of published CX Standards

  • The FOSS product under review is compliant to all relevant Catena-X Standards which are already published on the Association website.
  • Failure to do so may ultimately make the reference implementation useless, as the mandatory CX Certification cannot be accomplished.

  Product Owner confirms:

  • The content of upcoming CX Standardization Requests (STAN) has been reviewed and feedback was provided to the responsible PCA/BDA. As per current status, the FOSS product under review will be compliant as soon as the CX Standard is published. (Info here) (Source only accessible for Catena-X Consortia members in current transition phase.)
  • Minimum: PCA/BDA have finalized all release-relevant Standardization Requests (STAN). Those have passed the CX Association`s technical committee (TC4S) and are pre-published on the website. Opt-out period in progress.
  • Best case: Association Board approval available and CX Standard is published on website.

Gaia-X compliance:

Status: Gaia-X compliance got implemented by enabling the legalParticipant Self-Description creation and storage via the portal; additionally, we also trigger the SD creation per Connector. The portal (as part of the registration business process) does also ensure that a VC is created by the clearinghouse which is a Gaia-X Trust Service. Approved by Statement from PO ✅

GDPR Compliance:

Approved based on assessments of the GDPR Compliance Form. ✅
