UNTP Credential Extension Register

This page provides a summary of community organisations that have committed to publish credential extensions to the UNTP core specification. As described in the UNTP Extensions Methodology, this is a key activity for industry associations and standards bodies that want to deliver sector-specific UNTP credentials to their members while maintaining interoperability with UNTP core.

FieldValue
Entry IDhttps://registers.uncefact.org/untp/ext/udp
IndustryBuilt Environment (construction)
GeographyGlobal

Overview

The Universal Data Protocol (UDP) extends UNTP's decentralised framework to provide transparent, trustworthy, and verifiable data in the global built environment. UDP plans a Building Passport (DPP extension) and Building Maintenance Event (DTE extension) for built-environment lifecycle data, alongside conformity vocabulary catalogues registered separately in the CVC register. The UDP is an open protocol enabling efficient exchange of verifiable data, enhancing reporting and compliance across jurisdictions and life cycle stages.
