RINA Compliance Mapping — DaedArch Platform Alignment

Scope

This compliance mapping document outlines the alignment of DaedArch Corporation’s sensor-based Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) platform with the compliance requirements set forth by RINA, an Italian classification society. The focus of this document is on RINA's role in carbon verification, maritime and shipping decarbonization, and active participation in the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) and the Italian compliance market. This document also includes a gap analysis and remediation plan to ensure full compliance.

Requirements Matrix

1. Compliance Requirements Overview

| Requirement ID | Requirement Description | Source/Reference | Compliance Status | Evidence/Documentation | |----------------|-------------------------|------------------|-------------------|-------------------------| | REQ-001 | The platform shall capture ground-truth environmental data via IoT sensors. | RINA Verification Standards | Compliant | Sensor Data Logs | | REQ-002 | The platform shall process data through certified algorithms for carbon verification. | RINA Certification Guidelines | Compliant | Algorithm Certification Documents | | REQ-003 | The platform shall generate verification-ready reports with full chain-of-custody audit trails. | RINA Reporting Standards | Compliant | Sample Reports | | REQ-004 | The platform shall support maritime and shipping decarbonization metrics. | RINA Decarbonization Guidelines | Compliant | Decarbonization Metrics Documentation | | REQ-005 | The platform shall conform to EU ETS requirements for emissions reporting. | EU ETS Regulations | Compliant | EU ETS Compliance Documentation | | REQ-006 | The platform shall provide integration capabilities with existing RINA systems. | RINA Integration Standards | Pending | API Documentation |

2. Data Formats

The following data formats shall be utilized to ensure compliance with RINA's requirements:

• Sensor Data: JSON format with the following structure:

`json { "sensor_id": "string", "timestamp": "ISO 8601 date-time", "measurement_type": "string", "value": "float", "unit": "string" } `

• Verification Report: XML format with the following schema:

`xml string ISO 8601 date-time string string float string compliant|non-compliant `

• Audit Trail: CSV format with the following columns:
• Timestamp
• Action
• User
• Details

Compliance Status

The following table summarizes the compliance status of the DaedArch platform against RINA's requirements:

| Requirement ID | Compliance Status | Comments | |----------------|-------------------|----------| | REQ-001 | Compliant | All sensors are operational and data is being captured. | | REQ-002 | Compliant | Algorithms have been certified by an accredited body. | | REQ-003 | Compliant | Reports generated meet RINA's standards for verification. | | REQ-004 | Compliant | Metrics for maritime decarbonization are included. | | REQ-005 | Compliant | Emissions reporting aligns with EU ETS requirements. | | REQ-006 | Pending | Integration capabilities are under development. |

Gap Analysis

Identified Gaps

1. Integration Capabilities: The platform currently lacks complete integration with RINA’s existing systems, which may hinder data sharing and interoperability.
2. Documentation for API Endpoints: While the basic API endpoints are defined, further documentation is required to ensure seamless integration with RINA systems.

Gap Analysis Table

| Gap ID | Description | Impact | Recommended Action | |--------|-------------|--------|---------------------| | GAP-001 | Lack of integration capabilities with RINA systems | High | Develop integration APIs and conduct testing. | | GAP-002 | Insufficient API documentation | Medium | Create comprehensive API documentation and user guides. |

Remediation Plan

Remediation Actions

1. Integration Capabilities (GAP-001)

• Action: Develop RESTful APIs to facilitate data exchange with RINA systems.
• Timeline: 3 months
• Responsible Party: DaedArch Development Team
• Verification: Conduct integration testing with RINA systems and obtain sign-off from RINA technical reviewers.

API Endpoint Specifications:

• GET /api/sensors/data: Retrieve sensor data.
• Response Format: JSON
• POST /api/reports/generate: Generate a verification report.
• Request Body: XML formatted report request.
• GET /api/audit-trail: Retrieve audit trail data.
• Response Format: CSV

2. API Documentation (GAP-002)

• Action: Create detailed API documentation including endpoint descriptions, request/response formats, and example use cases.
• Timeline: 1 month
• Responsible Party: DaedArch Technical Writing Team
• Verification: Review documentation with RINA's technical team for completeness and clarity.

Verification Chain

1. Internal Review: DaedArch’s development and technical writing teams shall conduct an internal review of the remediation actions and documentation.
2. External Review: Submit the remediation documentation to RINA for external review and feedback.
3. Final Approval: Incorporate feedback from RINA and obtain final approval to confirm compliance.

Conclusion

This compliance mapping document serves as a comprehensive overview of the alignment between DaedArch Corporation’s MRV platform and RINA’s compliance requirements. The identified gaps and corresponding remediation plan are designed to ensure that DaedArch not only meets but exceeds the standards set forth by RINA, thereby contributing to the overarching goals of carbon verification and maritime decarbonization.

Further actions will be taken to address the identified gaps within the specified timelines. Continuous collaboration with RINA will be maintained to ensure that all compliance requirements are met in a timely and effective manner.
