Certification of eFTI platforms is a key prerequisite for the functioning of NSCP as a complete digital ecosystem. Business entities that choose a certified platform not only fulfill legal obligations, but also realize concrete business benefits: lower administrative costs, faster checks at road checkpoints and better insight into the status of their shipments.
The eFTI platform must be certified by an authorized body in the EU in order to be able to exchange data with national access systems such as NSCP. The list of certified platforms is available on the European Commission's website.
## What does eFTI platform certification mean?
The certified eFTI platform is a software solution that meets the technical, security and interoperability requirements prescribed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2381. The certification guarantees that the platform can securely store, transmit and make available electronic transport information to all authorized users in the EU — including competent authorities through the NSCP.
## Advantages for business entities
For logistics companies and carriers, the use of a certified eFTI platform means the complete elimination of paper transport documents for all transports that fall under the eFTI regulation. The driver in the field no longer has to carry a bunch of physical documents — it's enough to have access to a certified platform on a mobile device. Senders and recipients, on the other hand, have a better insight into the status of shipments in real time.
