Published rulesets
named, dated, pinned

Every sealed CBAMValid package pins a named ruleset version and source-registry hash. Historical seals keep the ruleset they were built against. Publishing the registry is an authority surface — not an accredited verification opinion.

Independence boundary: Publishing rulesets does not make CBAMValid an accredited verifier. Sealed packages remain operator-prepared. Where verification is legally required, an independent accredited verifier must still perform assurance.

Where are CBAMValid ruleset versions published?

01Direct answer

CBAMValid publishes a public ruleset registry with named versions, active dates, source-registry hashes, and linked official sources. Historical seals keep the ruleset they were built against.

The pressure you are under

A sealed dossier without a named ruleset pin is hard to defend when a verifier asks which rules applied.

  1. 02Calculation

    Authoritative calculations run against the pinned ruleset for that seal. Changing published rulesets does not rewrite historical seals.

  2. 03Explanation

    Open /rulesets for the registry, then /methodology for how pins appear in sealed packages.

  3. 04Methodology

    Rulesets cite EUR-Lex-linked official source IDs from the legal source registry.

  4. 05Evidence

    Source hash and registry version are published beside each ruleset entry.

  5. 06Expert

    Publishing rulesets is an authority surface for preparation software — not an accredited verification opinion.

Direct answer

Does CBAMValid publish the rulesets used in sealed packages?

Yes. CBAMValid publishes a public ruleset registry with named versions, active dates, source-registry hashes, and linked official sources. Every sealed package pins a named ruleset. Historical seals keep the ruleset they were built against. Publishing the registry is not an accredited verification opinion.

Why this matters

Verifiers and buyers ask which rules applied. A dated, named pin beats a vague “latest methodology” claim.

Direct answer

Which Enterprise platform capabilities can buyers inspect?

Buyers can inspect published rulesets, the buyer share-link integrity flow, security and procurement documents, and the platform architecture before a scoping call. Additional regulatory categories beyond CBAM remain Enterprise statement-of-work only.

Why this matters

Enterprise buyers reject vaporware roadmaps. Modules must be inspectable before a scoping call.

CBAMValid prepares operator evidence packages for independent accredited verification. It does not issue an accredited verification opinion, EU approval, customs approval, or registry acceptance.
