Catena-X Operating Model​

With the CX-Saturn release, the Operating Model strengthens compliance, clarifies governance rules, enhances lifecycle management, and refreshes the service map. The outlook on Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) has been realigned, highlighting interoperability and standardization as key priorities.

Roles & Compliance​

• TISAX Requirements
  • TISAX Level 2 becomes mandatory for all OSPs, ESPs, and BAPs effective July 2025, with a 12-month grace period.
  • TISAX Level 3 becomes mandatory for CSP-A and CSP-B roles.
• Registration
  • Roles including CSP-A, CSP-B, OSP, BAP, AP, and DPC must be registered in the Catena-X data space.
• New Roles
  • Digital Clearing House: Defined as the trust anchor for onboarding, legal entity verification, and digital self-descriptions, with support for multiple regional DCHs; clarified prerequisites and current limitations.
  • Attestation Provider: Defined as an independent verifier to strengthen trust and assurance within the Catena-X ecosystem.

Governance & Policies​

• Internal systems do not need to be listed on the public marketplace.
• Reinforced that all data space participants must comply with governance components such as Trust ID and related mechanisms.
• Removed reference to the deprecated CX-0008 Standard.

Lifecycle Management​

• Introduced an Environments section, including details on the Int environment.

Service Map​

• Updated to reflect the current state of services.
• Assigned relevant standards to each service.

Strategic Outlook​

• The chapter on “Further Integration of SSI Technologies” was refocused:
  • Shift from purely technical decentralization towards a broader SSI concept.
  • Transition from CSP-provided wallets to a bring-your-own-wallet approach.
  • Enablement of all entities to issue, present, and verify credentials, regardless of role.
  • Increased emphasis on interoperability across data spaces and alignment with global standards.

Tractus-X reference implementations​

The Saturn release combines the Eclipse Tractus-X releases 25.06 and 25.09.
This ensures a solid baseline of updated components together with new capabilities for data sovereignty, interoperability, and traceability. Non-compatible or other compatible versions of the Tractus-X release or the apps are listed below. If a version is interoperable with the initial release version and those features and with all other listed versions its listed as compatible.

Further Scope Clarification​

To uphold the integrity and reliability of the onboarding process, there will be a temporary change of the standards. This change is in-line with a feature supported in the current reference implementation.

Impact: CSP-B & OSP roles:

• CX-0006.
  • The standard has been slightly adjusted. Onboarding service providers and core service providers must continue to support the possibility of creating a Self-Description (SD) of the Legal Person. However, this requirement is no longer strictly tied to the initial registration process; the creation of the SD can now occur at a later stage. For any SDs that are issued, they must be stored in a central location and must comply with GAIA-X standards and guidelines.

The functionality of Catena-X and the security framework will remain unaffected furthermore the validation of company data and identifiers will continue as usual.
