FAQ — Datadock

+Can you still register on Datadock?

No, the scheme is no longer in service: it was replaced by Qualiopi certification for funding access.

+Does being 'datadocked' still have any value?

No. No funder relies on Datadock any more; only Qualiopi certification counts since 2022.

+How did Datadock differ from Qualiopi?

Datadock was declarative (21 indicators, document checks by funders); Qualiopi rests on a more demanding framework (32 indicators) and an audit by an accredited third-party certifier.
