Further Scope Clarification​

To maintain the integrity and reliability of the onboarding process, the signing of self-descriptions by the Gaia-X Digital Clearing House (GXDCH) will be temporarily suspended:

• This suspension only affects the CSP-B role within the following CACs:
  • CX-0001
    • The provided SD documents MUST be GAIA-X compliant, i.e. MUST provide a compliance credential issued from GAIA-X AISBL. – to be temporarily deactivated
  • CX-0006.
    • Onboarding service providers / core service providers MUST ensure the creation of a Self-Description (SD) of the Legal Person as part of the application verification process. The SD MUST be stored in a central location and MUST be in line with the GAIA-X standards/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.
