The link with Qualiopi
Datadock was replaced by Qualiopi: since 1 January 2022, being 'datadocked' carries no weight with funders. The documentation built for Datadock could however serve as groundwork for the RNQ.
To prepare Qualiopi certification itself, see the guide to the 32 indicators of the framework.
The process, summarised
- 1.No steps possible: the scheme is closed. A provider seeking funding must prepare for Qualiopi certification.
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.
