Response: We have mass balance for 1, 2, 3 and 12months, once provided by EO it cannot be edited .We plan to implement edit of mass balance duration by certification body only . |
Response: On UDB a certified material at the point of production is based on certification subject by the schemes that are compliant to RED. It is not allowed and is illegal to relabel the same material to another name. For the purpose of promotion a Member states may decide to interpret the same material differently within the member state. Such cross-referencing can be done by the member states during harmonization process initiated by the member states with Union Database. This will however not lead to change in Annex IX status. |
Response: We do not for each flight. Only what’s delivered from EO to EO consignments |
Response: primary residual flows' refer to 'agricultural, aquaculture, fisheries and forestry residues and wastes'
and 'non-primary residual flows' refer to 'processing residues and wastes'. |
Response: When you are buyer we do not ask for certification details |
Response: Basically remove means report that the fuel has been use. We use put-on-market to register this. |
Response: If your ISCC certificate has collection point scope you can use Part B scope .
If you certificate possess only point of origin scope we are developing special trade for it where you will be able to register your transaction.. |
Response: We are working on this and we expect this by end of Q2 |
Response: TDV not needed for UCO |
Response: Please provide more details on the site information. |
Response: UDB does not register non-sustainable quantities. Regarding your specific question please discuss with your scheme |

Response: For feedstock MJ is only for fuels and Dry tone is for RM. UOM depends on the registered material type. |
Response: 1. If outside UDB scope means EO not using UDB scope you can register this transaction in UDB mentioning the Required EO details.
2. If it means non sustainable consignment you don't need to register it in UDB.
If you want to remove it from your mass balance this feature will be possible in future. |
Response: Non certified EO's can be imported into UDB for the transaction. |
Response: The NUTS2 values need to be the ones subject to a decision by EC (RED II), Currently only NUTS2 value for Argentina & and Australia are approved by EC directives. |
Response: If the Blue PoS received can only be registered in UDB at start of next MB period, how can we supply the PoS within 30 calendar days as required? |
Response: UDB does not automatically calculate the emissions and is needed to share to EO further in the value chain. This is the responsibility of the EO |

Response: Biomass produced can be introduced into UDB in several forms: a) 1st gathering points can introduced backdated transactions including stocks held as of 1st October and transactions after 1st October. b) Point of origins can introduced biomass wastes or animal wastes with stocks as of 1st October and transactions thereafter. c) Traders who hold stocks as of 1st October can introduce transactions using initial stock as one time activity. Thereafter all consignments should be originating from their suppliers. |
Response: UDB is digitizing all sustainable materials as part of traceability. As such UDB will be able to demonstrate Mass-balance of such materials that can only be part of UDB. This view may not be the same as physical stocks held by EO and as such. It is not intended for UDB to replace Mass-Balance document at this point in time. |
Response: The seller will have to indicate the buyer in a sale transaction. Buyer shall update the delivery location. If the Buyer is not on UDB or his site is not certified, it will be considered booked out. |
Response: The topic of registering the transaction is explained in the user manual i.e. the 72 hours is applicable from the trigger point. The trigger point is based on economic operators business process giving flexibility to be based on consolidation of shipments under invoice etc. |

Response: In the current implementation we do not show cumulative . |
Response: Possible to register transaction for non ISCC buyer , it will be called as Booked out . This feature is currently not available . |
Response: The question needs to be clarified but the UDB allows to cumulate the GHG emissions. Each Economic operator can see the total GHG emissions cumulated until the previous stage. |
Response: once UDB is fully operational and for the types of fuels covered the UDB PoS is the mandatory reference for sustainability certification and traceability. therefore, should be enough for such purposes. |
Response: All consignments if not on UDB cannot be counted as sustainable if there is no corresponding UDB PoS. When Nabisys is integrated, Nabisy PoS should be integrated on UDB. |
Response: If the EO registers the consignment using Initial stocks for 2023 stocks they continue to be subject to audits during certification renewal |
Response: Ambient litres will be considered |
Response: In UDB you can use internal transfer option to move stock from one site to another site internally but the site need to be registered(Certified) . |

is to allow economic operators to register an initial available sustainable stock of raw materials or fuels that would allow them later to trade. This feature will be available only during transitioning into the union database to enable economic operators to start registering transactions.
is it a truckload or shipment or current inventory at that location? |
Response: For the raw material Corn unit, should be kgCO2eq/DMT.
For all fuel type unit, should be gCO2eq/MJ. |
Response: Initial stock held by the Economic Operator at a site listed in the certificate as on 1st January 2024 to be registered as a one-time activity to kick start the UDB application.
Initial stock is the quantity available to the EO at a particular site as on 1st January 2024. Stock should be issued 1 st Jan 2024,
No other future dates are possible. |
Response: Currently for NUTS2 region available only for
Argentina for the material Soyabean and Australia for the material Canola Seed
Material: rapeseed (crop)) with NUTS2 method type. How could we register NUTS2 crop stocks to UDB? |
Response: Bulk Upload Transaction is Feature for us to implement |
Response: UDB POS is the true source of sustainability information in UDB.
Yes edelivery can be used for bulk upload. |
Response: Currently for registering certificate mass balance duration could be 1 months,2 months,
3 months or 12 months Once the mass balance start date & duration is specified and the transactions are recorded on UDB, the transactions executed would be visible within the specific mass-balance period. The feature for Mass-balance period would be available within Q1 2024 for use. It is not necessary to specify the mass-balance start date for every period. The UDB will auto generate the mass-balance periods based on initial last known mass balance start date and duration. The carry forward of available stocks from one mass-balance period to the next will be automatically calculated for every new period, & hence it is not necessary to manually move the volumes. |
Response: Only sustainable material will be traced on UDB except in the case of blending. With regards to sustainable fuel, only those consignment reported on UDB (by fuel producers) and further sold to fuel suppliers on UDB will be available to the final fuel supplier to mark the fuel as consumed in the market. Offline reporting of consignments put on market will not be allowed on UDB as this defeats the purpose of UDB from traceability point of view and will lead to double counting/ irregularities. EO would have the report of all consignments put for consumption by final fuel suppliers on real time basis. Additionally an annual report can be extracted by both EO and the Member states for sustainable fuel. |
Response: Company reference should be the Internal company reference that can directly or indirectly link the evidence supporting the traded consignment. This reference is to be used during the certification audit. |

Response: Yes you can register multiple transaction on one delivery date. |
Response: Currently not possible (unless edelivery is being used). |
Response: This requirement does not go beyond legislation since the RED II as a higher-level legal act cannot regulate all the details of implementing an information system. Nevertheless, article 28.2 stipulates that the UDB should register all transactions in the value chain. Regarding the 72h, please bear in mind that aggregation of quantities is allowed if the inherent sustainability attributes of these quantities are the same. Therefore, the transaction registration could be based on an invoice that covers an aggregated consignment. |
Response: Currently not possible - feature coming soon. |
Response: First Collection Point can use it.
EO must have a valid certificate with at least one of the scope activities.
CP - Collecting Point (for waste/residue material not grown/harvested on farms/plantations)

Response: In the current implementation ,Material processing cannot be done using Excel. |
Response: If for Intermediate product or fuel created after conversion used medoth type is AV , Then cumulated GHG would be based on the input material AV values plus AV values added during the conversion.(AV of input material+AV added during conversion) |
Response: We will add Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil material also as a Fuel . |
Response: Convertion is distinct / output |
Response: We plan to create adjustment/loss feature , In future buyer should be able to include adjustment/loss linked to the consignment . |
Response: Yes, non-certified companies will be onboarded on UDB after April and they will have to submit transactions on UDB until the Obligated parties (final fuel supplier) who puts the fuel on the market by providing additional details like customs & invoice reference. |
Response: NTRID in the format VAT or Business registrations number would be useful. It is best to agree with your buyer (counterparty) which NTR ID they will use. so that they can receive the transactions on UDB |
Response: It is possible to aggregate and needs to align to the physical movement evidence example: Invoice. |
Response: For certificate related updates queries please contact your voluntary scheme |
Response: Cancel option is not available in material processing now. It will be implemented soon. |
Response: As of 1st January 2024, if you balance is negative then you do not need to encode the initial stocks |

Response: UDB is not tracing these information |
Response: The sustainabiliy declarations & PoS data is encoded by Economic Operators which forms the digital declarations on UDB further information about consignment as per Annex I. These information will be used by auditors during certification audits. |
Response: EO have the obligation to register the transactions on UDB since UDB traces the fuel from the raw materials. Nabisy and Carbure is a reporting system and not a tracability system. Nabisy and carbure are working towards integration with UDB as a hub. If the member states would like bidirectional integration then it will require member states to fullfill the traceability requirement to encode transactions into UDB i.e. the raw materials consignment registered on UDB have to be linked to the fuel consignments |
Response: As a EO lead user only can possible to manage the change of VS.
Navigate to Organisation ->My Organisation page click on 'Edit' in the General information section to add the required Voluntary schemes. |

Response: Units cannot be changes when creating seller transaction , but possible on Conversion. |
Response: This requirement does not go beyond legislation since the RED II as a higher-level legal act cannot regulate all the details of implementing an information system. Nevertheless, article 28.2 stipulates that the UDB should register all transactions in the value chain. Regarding the 72h, please bear in mind that aggregation of quantities is allowed if the inherent sustainability attributes of these quantities are the same. Therefore, the transaction registration could be based on an invoice that covers an aggregated consignment. |
Response: Yes, the end use into transport sector (Maritime) is to be encoded by final fuel supplier. |
Response: It is possible to convert from one UoM to another UoM using the material processing feature today. |
Response: You can refer to the Release Notes shared in the public wiki. |
Response: In the curent implmentation material processing can be done with multiple input material and one output material, with a maximum of 5 waste. |
Response: National schemes should have the same Mass balance rules since they need to comply with RED II |
Response: It is foreseen that service provider can assist in such situations for mass uploading or via EOs IT systems integration with UDB via Access point provider. For these 2 options, please contact your scheme. |
Response: The trade transactions are to be registered as per the reality and evidences to be submitted to auditors. During the transition year (2024) there will not be any restriction to as the EOs are allowed to register transactions exposte. |
Response: Yes, Changes can be requested to Certification Body. Only schemes/CB can change the mass-balance period. |
Response: The date used shall be relatable to the evidences used during the certification audit. The reference to this is based on both trade data & Company reference number (Internal numbers for process or surveyor report as applicable & required by the certification scheme etc) |
Response: Yes, material cannot be used in a transaction it is possible to manage the delete and edit the stocks.
If that material is used in a transaction then it is not possible to edit and delete following message would appear
"Unable to edit as the pos was used in a Transaction/Material process" |
Response: Updates ongoing by the UDB team. |
Response: All EOs are required start using as soon as they are onboarded. If EOs are not complying to the certification schemes communication, they may temporaily suspend the certificates of such EOs. Legal deadline for UDB to be full operational is November 2024. |
Response: We are happy to support on the initial UDB implementation phase, you could Email to - EC-UNION-DB@ec.europa.eu . udb@iscc-system.org for support . Meanwhile you can also refer to user guide and demo video's published in the WIKI page. |
Response: Gaseous Value chain for non-GoO is to go live before 21st November 2024. Testing will be possible on bilateral basis with EOs and TSO/DSO in Q2 & Q3 2024. All interested EOs may contact UDB Team. For GoO, registries who would want to start the integration may contact UDB team for bilateral session as per the communication in the last focus group in December 2023. |
Response: Regarding the Data Policy and Protection, Please refer to the following link
Security |
Response: Contact ISCC . UDB Team will not be able to support on this. |
Response: Initial stock held by the Economic Operator at a site listed in the certificate as on 1st January 2024 to be registered as a one-time activity to kick start the UDB application.
Initial stock is the quantity available to the EO at a particular site as on 1st January 2024. Stock should be issued 1 st Jan 2024,
No other future dates are possible. |
Response: UDB & Nabisy team are working on integration requirements & design. The Nabisy database is considered reporting and UDB is a traceability system. |
Response: In the Certificate you can add the new site which is used to add the stocks and create transactions and conversions. |
Response: Currently through Initial Stock E-delivery you can create multiple stocks.
Update can be done manually through only UI when material stock is not used in a transaction |
Response: Auditor will be able to see the list of sourcing contacts for the site/EO is auditing. This list should be consistent with the certification and the data on UDB. |
Response: You can aggregate loads having the same material , emission values and same country of origin. If Pos is not final you should be able to edit by adding new loads. |
Response: It depends. In general a CP can register the purchases from POO. There are cases where POO is individually certified alongside processing plants and in such cases they can register them directly on UDB. |
Response: The 72 hours applies from the date of either the invoice or shipment details are available with the Economic Operator. This provides flexibility already for the economic Operator that the transaction may be registered after the shipment (example invoice is generated). Once the transaction is generated, UDB will provide the PoS identifier back to the Economic Operator. The Economic Operator is able to record the emission details before the end of the 3 months balancing period or before the sale of this received consignment on UDB. |
Response: Bulk function not allowed in transaction , But if you mean to register in bulk loads collected in diffrent dates they could be aggregareted in the same trade based on thesame material , emmisions and country of origin. |
Response: After the integration of UDB with Nabisy, EO may choose only one method of reporting the transaction that will be exchanged between the two database. More information will be announced when the Nabisys assessment for UDB requirements will be completed & submitted to DG ENER. |

Response: "Currently for registering certificate mass balance duration could be 1 months,2 months,
3 months or 12 months Once the mass balance start date & duration is specified and the transactions are recorded on UDB, the transactions executed would be visible within the specific mass-balance period. The feature for Mass-balance period would be available within Q1 2024 for use. It is not necessary to specify the mass-balance start date for every period.
