Standards

There are currently eight families of DDEX standards that can be implemented to improve efficiency and aid the automated exchange of information along the digital value chain. The following provides an overview of all of DDEX’s standards. If you click on the references to each standard this will lead you to a basic description of each standard.

To determine which DDEX standards in the above diagram are relevant to your business, you should read the explanations of each of the standards which can be reached through the links in the diagram. The standards themselves can be downloaded from the Knowledge Base. The Knowledge Base also contains more detailed information about the standards and advise about how to approach the implementation of each standard. More general advice about the implementation of DDEX standards is also available.

Anyone can implement DDEX standards, but before implementing a DDEX standard you will need to acquire a free standard Implementation Licence. More information about the DDEX Implementation Licence is available here.
