Developing voluntary standards for blockchain
Finance, luxury goods, logistics… blockchain is spreading very quickly throughout the economic fabric, for a wide range of applications.
This technology aims to make online transactions totally secure, and acts as a trusted third party to record all information.
It is based on five characteristics:
A disruptive technology is not viable unless it inspires confidence and is interoperable. This is where voluntary standards come in: they provide a framework and describe best practices in terms of terminology, architecture, interoperability, security and automation. Like many blockchain designers and users, and in partnership with the French federation of blockchain professionals, join the AFNOR standardization committee to write these standards, and make your voice heard on an international scale as part of the ISO/TC 307 committee!
Consult the voluntary blockchain standards
AFNOR is providing stakeholders with the first voluntary standards for blockchain technology. Thus the
NF Z64-951 standard
proposes a classification of the levels of veracity of information to be transcribed in a system using blockchain technology. The NF symbol indicates that the standard is included in the French collection. The first voluntary international standard has already set the standard:
ISO 22739
published in July 2020. It plays its role of sharing best practices by proposing a common vocabulary for what it defines in French as “chaîne de blocs et technologies de registres distribués”.
