UASCS‑CVP‑1.0 — Universal AI Safety Certification Standard: Compliance Verification Protocol

UASCS‑CVP‑1.0 (Compliance Verification Protocol) defines the canonical verification and scoring authority of the Universal AI Safety Certification Standard (UASCS). This specification establishes a formal, non‑implementable, and governance‑level protocol for assessing whether an AI system, control architecture, or organizational deployment is compliant with UASCS requirements. CVP‑1.0 operates as the verification layer that evaluates conformance claims derived from UASCS‑RIS‑1.0 (Risk Intelligence Specification)and the CLC‑A Control Claims, without prescribing implementation details. CVP‑1.0 introduces a five‑layer verification model: Structural Verification (SV) Behavioral Verification (BV) Governance Verification (GV) Traceability Verification (TV) Integrity Verification (IV) Compliance is expressed through a normalized Compliance Score (CS): CS = (SV + BV + GV + TV + IV) / 5 This protocol is intentionally defined as normative, axiomatic, and reference‑only. It SHALL NOT be interpreted as a technical implementation guide, enforcement mechanism, or operational security system. Instead, CVP‑1.0 serves as the authoritative benchmark for certification, auditability, and independent verification of AI safety and sovereignty claims. CVP‑1.0 is designed to be used by regulators, auditors, certification bodies, and governance authorities as a common verification language for high‑impact AI systems.
