# WIA-catalyst-material PHASE 4 — INTEGRATION Specification **Standard:** WIA-catalyst-material **Phase:** 4 — INTEGRATION **Version:** 1.0 **Status:** Stable This document defines how a catalyst-research operator integrates with the systems that surround catalyst registration, characterisation, certified- reference-material publication, and industrial qualification: the accreditation body issuing the ISO 17034 RM-producer or the ISO/IEC 17025 testing- laboratory certificate; the Joint Committee for Guides in Metrology (JCGM) host of the GUM uncertainty-of-measurement vocabulary; the IUPAC secretariat publishing the catalysis-nomenclature manual; the industrial-catalyst manufacturer's qualification-batch register; the process licensor's licensee telemetry feed; the EU REACH and CLP regulatory authority and the catalyst-substance supply-chain communication endpoints; and the proficiency-testing organiser running ISO 5725 or ISO 13528 rounds.

The accreditation body's published register is queried at certificate- publication time; the response is cached for the TTL declared in the accreditation body's HTTP caching headers (RFC 9111). A withdrawn or suspended reference returns `410 Gone` for the operator's `/v1/crm-certificates` POST endpoint and `200 OK` with a `withdrawn: true` flag for the public retrieval endpoint, so that downstream consumers can detect the certificate state without having to query the accreditation body directly. ### §1.2 ISO/IEC 17025 register Every characterisation-upload signature carried by the laboratory is verified against the ISO/IEC 17025 register on the accreditation body's endpoint. The register-lookup result is recorded as part of the upload's audit envelope for later review by the operator's quality manager. ## §2 IUPAC Vocabulary Integration The operator's API binds the controlled vocabularies declared in PHASE-1 §3 (`catalystClass`), §4 (`technique`), and §7 (`outlierTreatment`) to the IUPAC 2001 catalysis-nomenclature manual, the IUPAC 2007 characterisation manual, and the IUPAC Quantities-Units-Symbols Green Book respectively. Vocabulary updates are published by IUPAC on a multi-year cycle; the operator subscribes to the IUPAC publishing endpoint and triggers an internal review cycle when a vocabulary update is published. A vocabulary entry that is deprecated by IUPAC is marked deprecated in the operator's enumeration set but is not removed for the duration of the operator's record-retention period. ## §3 Industrial-Manufacturer Qualification Integration ### §3.1 Qualification-batch register A catalyst manufacturer's qualification-batch register integrates with the operator's API by publishing a per-batch attestation envelope that links the laboratory characterisation record to the manufacturing batch identifier. The attestation carries the laboratory's ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation reference, the catalyst record's identifier, the manufacturing batch identifier, and the per-batch characterisation summary so that the licensee operating the catalyst in a production unit can validate the batch against the qualification baseline before commissioning. ### §3.2 Production-unit telemetry binding The licensee's production-unit telemetry feed publishes time-on-stream conversion and selectivity data points at the cadence declared in the performance record's `deactivationCurve`. The operator's API ingests the telemetry feed into the performance record and updates the `deactivationStatus` field in the licensee's namespace. Where the slope exceeds the qualification envelope, the licensee receives a notification at the channel declared in their programme record's contact directives. ## §4 Proficiency-Testing Organiser Integration A proficiency-testing organiser running ISO 13528 rounds integrates with the operator's API as both a producer (publishing the round envelope to the participant set) and a consumer (ingesting the participant submissions). The organiser's accreditation reference is verified at round opening; the organiser's signed assigned-value declaration is bound to the round identifier and is not editable after round closure. ## §5 Substance-Registration Integration ### §5.1 EU REACH dossier integration Where the catalyst contains a substance whose REACH registration dossier is held by the operator or a member of its consortium, the operator publishes a link from the catalyst record's `identifierBindings.reachRegistrationNumber` to the dossier-publication endpoint operated by the European Chemicals Agency. The operator's API does not redistribute the dossier itself; the link is informational and is rendered by the public retrieval endpoint as a clickable reference. ### §5.2 CLP supply-chain communication The operator's API publishes the CLP hazard-class declaration in a Safety Data Sheet envelope per REACH Article 31 and CLP Regulation Article 17. The SDS envelope is signed using the operator's public-key set and is retrievable at `/v1/catalysts/{catalystId}/sds`. ## §6 KR-Jurisdiction Integration ### §6.1 KS Q ISO 17034 adoption A KR-jurisdiction RM-producer operator declares the KS Q ISO 17034 adoption reference in the programme record's `accreditationStatus`. The KR-Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS) operates the accreditation register; the operator's API queries the KOLAS register on certificate- publication and on each retrieval after the caching TTL. ### §6.2 KR Chemical Substances Control Act linkage A KR-jurisdiction catalyst whose composition includes a substance controlled under the KR Chemical Substances Control Act (화학물질관리법) declares the act's substance reference in the catalyst record's `identifierBindings`. The operator's API does not gate registration on the act's review status — the registration is informational and is reviewed by the operator's regulatory-affairs team under the operator's quality-management discipline declared in PHASE-3 §8. ## §7 Public Retrieval and Re-Issuance ### §7.1 Public catalyst-record retrieval A public consumer (a licensee evaluating a qualification batch, a regulator running a market- surveillance audit, an academic researcher referencing a CRM in a publication) retrieves the catalyst record at `/v1/catalysts/{catalystId}` without authentication; the response carries the public fields and elides the per-laboratory raw-data URIs unless the consumer presents an authorisation issued by the laboratory. ### §7.2 Verifiable-credentials re-issuance An accreditation reference can be re-issued into a laboratory-information-management system as a W3C Verifiable Credential. The credential carries the accreditation body's issuer identifier, the accreditation reference, the scope of the accreditation, the certificate's expiry, and the issuing date; the credential is signed using the accreditation body's public-key set so that a downstream verifier can validate the credential without contacting the accreditation body directly. ## §8 Audit and Conformity-Assessment Integration ### §8.1 ISO/IEC 17021-1 management-system audit The operator's quality-management system declared in PHASE-3 §8 is audited under ISO/IEC 17021-1 by an accredited certification body. The audit result is stored in the operator's audit envelope and is referenced from the programme record's `accreditationStatus`. The certification body's public-key set is published at the certification body's endpoint; the operator's API verifies the audit certificate's signature against the certification body's public key on retrieval. ### §8.2 ISO/IEC 17065 product certification Where a catalyst is sold as a certified product (for example a CRM), the operator's CRM certificate is itself a product-certification deliverable under ISO/IEC 17065. The certification body's marking, scope of certification, and the certified product's identifier are published in the certificate envelope so that a downstream consumer can verify the certification scope before relying on the certificate. ## §9 References (consolidated) The references list across PHASE-1 to PHASE-4 is the canonical citation set for the WIA-catalyst- material standard. Implementations cite the standards by their issuing organisation (ISO, IEC, IUPAC, JCGM, BIPM, ASTM International, IETF, W3C, EU regulatory text, KS) and the publication year so that a downstream consumer can locate the authoritative text. Updates to a cited standard (for example, the 2023 revision of ISO 5725-1) trigger an internal review cycle in the operator's quality-management discipline declared in PHASE-3 §8 before the new revision is bound into the operator's enumeration set.
