βUnit type code
Intro
SAFc, SAFcA, and SAFcE are the three type SAF Certificates that can be identified and understood by their "unit type code". Unit type codes are always accompanied by an explanatory tooltip.

The unit type code follows this formula AAAAA-BC-D, where:
A is either SAFc, SAFcA, or SAFcE
B is the sustainability tier
C is the usability tier
D is the assurance level
π Sustainability tier
βAβ indicates a SABA-preferred SAFc (that is, the unit represents SAF that meets the criteria for SABA-preferred SAF according to the SABA SAF Sustainability Framework).
βBβ indicates a SABA-eligible SAFc (that is, the unit represents SAF that meets the criteria for SABA-eligible SAF according to the SABA SAF Sustainability Framework).
βCβ indicates an SCS-eligible SAFc (that is, the unit represents SAF that meets the minimum criteria of a SAF sustainability certification scheme).
πͺ Usability tier
Though the usability tiers for SAFc, SAFcA, and SAFcE use a similar numbering scheme, they have different meaning.
Usability tiers for SAFc
SAFc can only be "Type 2". SAFc was formally called SAFcA Type 2, but was renamed for clarity.
SAFc can be retired for voluntary purpose and contain both SAFcA (Scope 1) and SAFcE (Scope 3) certificates that are yet to be unbundled from one-another.
Usability tiers for SAFcA
β1β indicates a SAFcA that is applicable only for compliance use by air transport providers.
β3β indicates a SAFcA that is available for voluntary purpose retirement and a SAFcE was already unbundled from it.
Usability tiers for SAFcE
"2" indicates the SAFcE cannot yet be retired because the underlying SAFcA has not been retired.
"3" indicates the SAFcE can be retired because the underlying SAFcA has been retired.
π Assurance level
The assurance level is a classification system in the registry that indicates the degree of verification of the sustainability information associated with a SAFc. The assurance levels are explained in the registry rulebook and summarised below:
βVALβ indicates that a SAFc has been validated.
βREVβ indicates that a SAFc has been revalidated.
βVERβ indicates that a SAFc has been verified.
βURβ indicates that the assurance level of a SAFc is under review.
