Brett Hyland, NATA’s Stakeholder Engagement Manager, recently published a paper titled “Verifiable and Traceable Product Conformity Data” in the International Journal for Conformity Assessment.
This important work focuses on innovative efforts by the United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT) to improve how conformity assessment data is captured in digital supply chains.

The paper addresses the challenge of ensuring that this data remains verifiable and traceable, while remaining independent of proprietary systems or specific platforms.
It also introduces the UN/CEFACT Specification for Digital Product Conformity Data Exchange, a new framework that promotes transparency and efficiency in global trade. This is available for free download here.
