As the global leader in testing and compliance, the UL Solutions family of companies delivers certification services through specific certification bodies. These certification bodies operate under their own authority, independent from government organization; are ISO/IEC 17065 compliant; and are accessible to all who fall within the scope of operations. Our eID Scheme's testing laboratories evaluate solutions for ISO/IEC 18013-5:2021 compliance. This global standard specifies interoperable protocols for digital credentials, as well as a data model for mDLs, and can be leveraged for other digital credentials.
