Detailed correspondences (23)

Framework provision	Effinature criterion	Relation	Confidence	Rationale
ZAN-ART-1 Category 1 - Surfaces whose soils are sealed by buildings (constructions, developments, works or installations)	EFF-C-006 Combating soil sealing and heat islands	Broad match	Medium	Category 1 qualifies sealing by buildings as artificialisation; EFF-C-006 requires combating soil sealing. The nomenclature measures/qualifies, Effinature prescribes the reduction: the ZAN provision is broader (accounting for all built sealing) than the operational Effinature requirement.
ZAN-ART-1 Category 1 - Surfaces whose soils are sealed by buildings (constructions, developments, works or installations)	EFF-C-005 Definition of open ground (full soil)	Related match	Medium	The qualification of sealed built surfaces is the complement of open ground as defined by Effinature (EFF-C-005): both frameworks delimit the impermeable / living-soil boundary, but with their own definitions and thresholds (50 m² ZAN vs agronomic criteria for open ground).
ZAN-ART-2 Category 2 - Surfaces whose soils are sealed by a surfacing (artificial, asphalt, concrete, paving, slabs)	EFF-C-006 Combating soil sealing and heat islands	Close match	High	Category 2 (soils sealed by asphalt/concrete/paving) closely corresponds to the object of EFF-C-006 (combating soil sealing and heat islands), which aims precisely to reduce these surfaced areas.
ZAN-ART-2 Category 2 - Surfaces whose soils are sealed by a surfacing (artificial, asphalt, concrete, paving, slabs)	EFF-C-018 Stormwater management along roads	Related match	Medium	The impermeable surfacing of roads (cat. 2) generates the run-off that stormwater management along roads (EFF-C-018) must handle; a functional cause-and-effect link, not an overlap of object.
ZAN-ART-2 Category 2 - Surfaces whose soils are sealed by a surfacing (artificial, asphalt, concrete, paving, slabs)	EFF-C-068 Sustainable stormwater management	Related match	Medium	The reduction of impermeable surfaced areas (cat. 2) conditions sustainable stormwater management at plot level (EFF-C-068 / infiltration); a functional link.
ZAN-ART-3 Category 3 - Partially/fully permeable surfaces whose soils are stabilised and compacted, covered with mineral or composite materials	EFF-C-005 Definition of open ground (full soil)	Close match	High	Category 3 classes as artificialised the stabilised, compacted or composite-material soils - i.e. exactly the surfaces excluded by Effinature's definition of open ground (EFF-C-005), which requires an uncompacted soil in continuity with the natural soil. Near-identical conceptual boundary.
ZAN-ART-3 Category 3 - Partially/fully permeable surfaces whose soils are stabilised and compacted, covered with mineral or composite materials	EFF-C-003 Soil quality	Related match	Medium	Stabilisation/compaction (cat. 3) degrades the soil quality that EFF-C-003 requires to be assessed; a link via the alteration of soil functions, without identity of object.
ZAN-ART-4 Category 4 - Surfaces for residential, production or infrastructure use whose soils are covered with grassy vegetation	EFF-C-054 Land use	Close match	Medium	Category 4 distinguishes artificialisation by use (residential/tertiary grassy surfaces): this is precisely what Effinature's land-use requirement (EFF-C-054) inventories and classes at project scale. Very close objects of analysis.
ZAN-ART-4 Category 4 - Surfaces for residential, production or infrastructure use whose soils are covered with grassy vegetation	EFF-C-004 Harmonised Biotope Area Factor (CBSh)	Related match	Medium	The CBSh (EFF-C-004) weights grassy vegetated surfaces differently from open ground - a logic parallel to the ZAN distinction between artificialised grassy (cat. 4) and non-artificialised vegetated (cat. 10). Convergent weighting approaches, not identical.
ZAN-ART-5 Category 5 - Surfaces whose soils are either bare or covered with grassy vegetation, under construction or abandoned	EFF-C-011 Site installation plan (PIC): soil component	Related match	Medium	Worksite footprints (cat. 5, artificialised) are the object of the worksite installation plan, soil component (EFF-C-011), which aims to preserve the living soil under the works footprint. An operational link, the nomenclature qualifying the state, Effinature prescribing the protection.
ZAN-ART-5 Category 5 - Surfaces whose soils are either bare or covered with grassy vegetation, under construction or abandoned	EFF-C-052 Initial soil state	Related match	Low	The initial soil state (EFF-C-052) documents the footprint before/during the worksite that cat. 5 qualifies as temporarily artificialised; a weak contextual link.
ZAN-NAT-6 Category 6 - Bare natural surfaces (sand, pebbles, rocks, mineral material) or permanently covered with water, snow or ice	EFF-C-028 Soil preservation	Related match	Low	The qualification of non-artificialised natural soils (cat. 6) joins Effinature's soil-preservation objective (EFF-C-028), but the category is purely descriptive/accounting and carries no obligation; a link of principle only.
ZAN-NAT-9 Category 9 - Surfaces whose soils are vegetated and constitute a natural habitat	EFF-C-019 Assessment of ecological continuities and habitat characterisation	Close match	Medium	Category 9 identifies vegetated soils constituting a non-artificialised natural habitat; EFF-C-019 requires the assessment of ecological continuities and the characterisation of habitats at project scale. Very close objects of habitat identification.
ZAN-NAT-9 Category 9 - Surfaces whose soils are vegetated and constitute a natural habitat	EFF-C-061 Ecological continuities and habitat characterisation	Close match	Medium	Likewise at NCO/HOR scale: the characterisation of habitats and ecological continuities (EFF-C-061) overlaps with the ZAN qualification of non-artificialised natural habitat (cat. 9).
ZAN-NAT-9 Category 9 - Surfaces whose soils are vegetated and constitute a natural habitat	EFF-C-062 Areas set aside for biodiversity	Related match	Medium	The preservation of a natural habitat (cat. 9, non-artificialised) is operationalised by the setting-aside of biodiversity areas (EFF-C-062); Effinature prescribes what the nomenclature merely qualifies.
ZAN-NAT-10 Category 10 - Non-artificialised vegetated surfaces not falling into the previous categories (including woodlands and shrub surfaces in urban areas)	EFF-C-100 Preservation of the initial plant heritage	Close match	Medium	Category 10 values non-artificialised vegetated surfaces (including urban woodlands >=25%); EFF-C-100 requires the preservation of the initial plant heritage, notably wooded. Direct convergence on maintaining the existing plant cover.
ZAN-NAT-10 Category 10 - Non-artificialised vegetated surfaces not falling into the previous categories (including woodlands and shrub surfaces in urban areas)	EFF-C-007 IVS determination	Related match	Low	The IVS (EFF-C-007, plant-heritage value index) qualifies the value of the vegetated surfaces that cat. 10 classes as non-artificialised; convergent approaches to valuing vegetation but distinct metrics.
ZAN-SEUIL Reference qualification thresholds (50 m² built; 2,500 m² other surfaces; 5 m wide for linear infrastructure; 25% woodland)	EFF-C-054 Land use	Related match	Low	The qualification thresholds (50 m² / 2,500 m² / 5 m) are rules for measuring land use that Effinature's inventory (EFF-C-054) carries out; a methodological link, without identity of requirement.
ZAN-SOBRIETE Objective of land sobriety / net zero artificialisation (reduction of the artificialisation rate, priority to urban renewal)	EFF-C-010 Needs assessment	Related match	Medium	Land sobriety (limiting artificialisation, prioritising urban renewal) joins Effinature's needs-assessment requirement (EFF-C-010) which questions the necessity and footprint of the project upstream. Convergence of intent, distinct mechanisms.
ZAN-SOBRIETE Objective of land sobriety / net zero artificialisation (reduction of the artificialisation rate, priority to urban renewal)	EFF-C-055 Urban continuities	Related match	Low	The priority given to urban renewal (land sobriety) overlaps with the urban-continuities requirement (EFF-C-055) fostering integration into the existing fabric; a development-orientation link.
ZAN-DESIMPER De-sealing / renaturation counted as non-artificialised surface (net artificialisation balance)	EFF-C-006 Combating soil sealing and heat islands	Close match	High	De-sealing counted as non-artificialised surface (deducted from the net balance) closely overlaps with Effinature's requirement to combat soil sealing (EFF-C-006): the same operational act, one counted by the ZAN, the other prescribed by Effinature.
ZAN-DESIMPER De-sealing / renaturation counted as non-artificialised surface (net artificialisation balance)	EFF-C-068 Sustainable stormwater management	Related match	Medium	De-sealing (ZAN) restores the infiltration targeted by sustainable stormwater management at plot level (EFF-C-068); a strong functional link but distinct objects (land accounting vs hydrology).
ZAN-DESIMPER De-sealing / renaturation counted as non-artificialised surface (net artificialisation balance)	EFF-C-028 Soil preservation	Related match	Medium	Renaturation (ZAN) aims to restore a functional soil, an objective shared with the preservation/restoration of soils (EFF-C-028); convergence of ecological objective, mechanisms of different scope.
