Supply chain compliance is evolving, and your facility needs to keep up. Major buyers like electronics manufacturers, automotive OEMs, and leading brands are now demanding verified facility data from suppliers in a standardized, machine-readable format—not questionnaires or PDFs. This shift means buyers want to know exactly who you are and where you operate in a format they can automatically verify.

Enter the Digital Facility Record (DFR), a key part of the UN Transparency Protocol (UNTP). Unlike traditional documents, a DFR carries trusted information about your facility—its operators, location, products, and certifications—using cryptographically signed, machine-readable data. This ensures your details are secure, standardized, and easily verifiable across platforms.

Why does this matter? Because the old method of filling out repeated questionnaires is inefficient and prone to error. For facilities not part of formal industry associations, there’s now a clear path to becoming visible and verified—without waiting for an industry body to solve the problem for you.

Learn why implementing a UNTP Conformant Digital Facility Record is crucial for your facility’s future compliance and credibility.

We’re excited to share the latest updates from our recent development sprint focused on improving Digital Product Passports (DPP). Although many changes were behind the scenes, they bring significant benefits to anyone who’s ever found credential renders overwhelming.

Here’s what’s new:
- A complete redesign of how DPPs display product information. Instead of scattered data, key details like GTIN, manufacturer, facility, country, and product category are now consolidated into a single, easy-to-scan details bar at the top. This transforms the first impression from a "wall of structured data" to a clear summary of the product and its claims.
- The “Further Information” section is repositioned and simplified from a two-column table to inline hyperlinks, improving the reading flow with context first, then attestations, and supporting links.
- Conformity Claims cards have been redesigned for clarity. Now, the evidence link name serves as the title, the description appears as body text, and an “Evidence” link clearly differentiates between standard documents like PDFs and machine-verifiable Digital Conformity Credentials (DCCs). When the evidence is a DCC, the card features an orange “DCC” badge, signaling cryptographic verification.

We also address two AI misbehavior issues encountered during this sprint, explaining how we resolved them, as well as a deliberate choice to leave a bug-like feature unchanged because it serves a meaningful purpose.

Read the full breakdown and discover how transparency in our development process and thoughtful design choices enhance the usability and trustworthiness of Digital Product Passports.

Building in public means sharing the journey as we refine what matters most to you.

When you first open a Digital Product Passport (DPP), one of the initial details you'll see is a product identifier — a structured numeric string that precisely defines the product and its level of detail. These identifiers are based on GS1 Application Identifiers (AIs), which are key to ensuring that product credentials are accurately interpreted by verifying systems.

Our latest blog post breaks down the three most common GS1 AI codes used in DPPs, explaining what each code means and why distinguishing between model, batch, and serial levels is crucial for effective product tracking.

Learn how AI (01) GTIN identifies the product model, AI (10) specifies the batch, and AI (21) pinpoints the individual serial number. Understanding these standards is essential for interoperability within the UNTP ecosystem, making sure your products are recognized consistently across buyers, platforms, and registries.

Milestone 1 is complete! The DPP AI Agent is now live and operational within the DPP Kit, successfully handling all five UNTP credential types: Digital Product Passports, Digital Facility Records, Digital Traceability Events, Digital Conformity Credentials, and Digital Identity Anchors. This breakthrough means users can upload product specifications, sustainability reports, or supplier data sheets, and the AI Agent will automatically read, map, and generate a Tier 2 conformant credential. What once took a week of manual data entry can now be done in a single sitting.

The AI Agent is especially effective in managing data-heavy credentials like Digital Product Passports and Facility Records by extracting complex information such as product composition, emissions data, certifications, and provenance claims from various document formats. Users can review and modify the extracted data before final approval and issuance, ensuring complete accuracy and compliance with UNTP standards.

Digital Conformity Credentials (DCCs), which are compliance certificates issued by accredited bodies, are integrated through external UNTP-issuing tools, maintaining alignment with existing certification workflows.

Looking ahead, the team is focusing on private encrypted credentials and selective disclosure features, planned for release by April, to enhance security and user control over data sharing.

We’ve been working on improving the UNTP Credential Editor pipeline to enhance your experience with our credential issuance process. The core workflow—uploading documents, AI-driven claim extraction, reviewing and editing, then issuing credentials—was functional, but real-world use revealed several issues with how state management interacted between the editor, AI agent, and Directus.

Some challenges included:
- The editor showing finalized credentials instead of the current draft when editing.
- Deleted claims reappearing due to leftover PDF evidence files and stale array indices.
- Credentials rendering with incorrect schema shapes.
- Dashboard inaccuracies showing zeros when errors occurred.

After seven commits and numerous improvements, the pipeline is now much more reliable. Key fixes include the editor now correctly showing the current draft state, proper synchronization between AI Agent and editor views, automatic cleanup of orphaned files, and consistent claim deletion without ghost claims.

Explore the full details on these fixes and how we’re making the credential editor more robust. Read more: https://dpp-kit.xylo.gg/post/building-in-public-fixing-the-untp-credential-editor-pipeline

We’re nine days into our epic sprint, and the last two days have brought both exciting advancements and critical discoveries that could have impacted our launch.

The highlight: AI-Powered Credential Generation. We’ve introduced an AI Agent tab for Digital Facility Records that transforms your documents—PDFs, Word files, spreadsheets, CSVs—into fully validated, UNTP-compliant credentials automatically. No manual mapping required. It even links certifications, audit reports, and compliance records back to their source documents within the credential.

What makes this truly innovative is the agent’s self-validation loop. It uses the same official UNTP schema validator to detect errors and correct them up to three times before showing you the final result. Afterwards, you can refine the credential interactively through a chat interface, approving or rejecting AI-proposed changes with transparency and control.

This breakthrough not only streamlines credential creation but builds trust by treating AI as a collaborative assistant, not an autopilot.

Building in Public: Day 5 - When Good Architecture Makes Everything Click

On Day 5 of building our UNTP compliant W3C Verifiable Credential Issuing and Management System, we made significant progress by integrating Tier 2 testing into its own module and embedding it inline during credential editing and issuing.

The key insight? Architecture decisions made in the first three days paid massive dividends. The APIs, data structures, and validation pipelines were largely in place, allowing us to rapidly implement the Tier 2 validation UI—a critical feature enabling users to verify that their credentials meet UNTP interoperability standards before issuance.

Why is Tier 2 testing so important? Because it guarantees schema compliance—ensuring Digital Product Passports issued by DPP Kit can be seamlessly read by any UNTP-compliant system, from buyer procurement platforms to verification apps and regulatory tools. This makes true interoperability possible, moving beyond just JSON documents with supply chain data.
