eFTI Platform Requirements (Reg. 2025/2243)

Frequently asked questions

What does Regulation 2025/2243 actually regulate?

It lays down the detailed functional requirements that eFTI platforms and eFTI service providers must meet in order to be certified. These requirements cover data security, data processing, authentication and interoperability, forming the technical baseline that any eFTI solution must satisfy.

Who needs to comply with this regulation?

Both eFTI platform providers and eFTI service providers fall within its scope. Any organisation offering a platform or service intended for electronic freight transport information exchange must meet these functional requirements before it can obtain certification.

What are the main compliance areas covered?

The regulation groups requirements into four main areas: data security, data processing, authentication mechanisms and interoperability between systems. Together these define how a platform must handle, protect and exchange freight transport information reliably.

Why is this regulation described as a benchmark?

Because it sets the single compliance standard against which every eFTI platform on the market is measured for certification. Rather than allowing varied national interpretations, it provides one common technical reference that all providers must follow.
