Standards AI

Turn standards into clear, usable guidance.

Standards AI is designed for organisations that own, manage, or rely on technical and competence standards. It transforms dense rulebooks into a live, conversational system — helping teams, contractors, and supply chains understand what the standard requires, why it matters, and how to comply, in real time.

FEATURE

Your standards, made AI-ready

Certchain converts your standards into a secure, AI-ready format that can be safely distributed across your organisation, workforce, or wider industry.

Instead of static PDFs, your standards become a structured, searchable knowledge base that the AI can understand, interpret, and deliver accurately — in real time, and in context.

This means your people don’t need to read standards to apply them correctly. They can ask questions and receive answers that are grounded directly in your authoritative source material.

Standards AI Navigator

A natural-language interface available on web and mobile, allowing users to:

  • Ask real-world, practical questions

  • Navigate across multiple standards

  • Receive structured, standards-aligned answers

  • Follow guided next steps through complex requirements

It feels like talking to an expert — not searching a document.

FEATURE

Standards updates & control

Standards change — and Standards AI is built for that reality. Standards owners can:

  • Replace or update standards documents

  • Provide structured refinement inputs

  • Ensure AI responses evolve as rules change

  • Maintain consistency without retraining users

The system evolves with your rulebook — not against it.

How it works

Your standards are embedded, version-controlled, and retrieved verbatim — reducing ambiguity and guesswork.

Prevents misinterpretation

The AI identifies user intent, asks clarifying questions when needed, and retrieves the right clauses, not just keywords.

Understands your intent

Responses clearly separate what the standard actually says, vs AI supporting explanations, to ensure standardised clarity.

Delivers usable answers

Where relevant, Standards AI links technical rules to competence requirements — reinforcing correct practice, not just compliance.

Standards AI is designed for organisations that own responsibility for standards, including:

  • Trade associations

  • Regulators

  • Certification bodies

  • Industry frameworks

  • Enterprise standards teams

  • Site teams

  • Supervisors

  • Contractors

  • Assessors

  • Managers

It’s equally valuable to the people using those standards:

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Certchain uses AI to automate how competence and compliance data is presented — at a scale and frequency that manual processes can’t achieve.
    One of the UK’s largest prime contractors uses Certchain across 500+ sites and 300 supply-chain partners, achieving real-time compliance visibility and over 60% improvement in operational efficiency. With regulation tightening, waiting to improve is no longer an option.

  • We start with what you already have. Share your existing skills matrices, spreadsheets, or forms, and we use AI-assisted tools to ingest, structure, and operationalise the data quickly — turning static spreadsheets into live competence intelligence.

  • Very quickly.

    Once your user data is uploaded, a high-level compliance and competence dashboard can be live in around 10 minutes, giving immediate visibility across your workforce and supply chain.

  • Certchain integrates directly with over 40 competence and certification providers within the Workforce Competence Manager (WCM). A full list of current providers is available to download.

  • Each worker has a Certchain Skills Passport, managed on web and accessible via mobile.

    It brings together verified qualifications, certifications, and supporting evidence into a single, live competence record linked to role requirements.

  • Certchain integrates with a trusted identity verification partner network operating across 50+ countries. Workers without UK citizenship are prompted to complete a one-time Right to Work check, with verification securely recorded in their profile.

  • Gate systems only check compliance at a single moment in time. Certchain provides a continuous, real-time view of competence and compliance across over 40 live data feeds — allowing risks to be identified and addressed before they become site access issues.

  • Certchain’s architecture allows it to be deployed in secure, controlled environments — including defence, nuclear, and other highly regulated or isolated settings.
