Recognised External Standards Register

Standards issued by other national authorities may be relevant to the Digital Nation Pakistan ecosystem. This register catalogues those external standards and records how each relates to the corresponding DNP publication.

Each entry carries one of three conformity levels: Conformant means the external standard is fully aligned with the referenced DNP publication. Conditionally conformant means it is aligned with noted gaps and a documented remediation timeline. Non-assessed means the standard is registered for discoverability but has not yet been formally assessed.
