International correspondences (18)

Framework	Provision	Relation	Confidence	Rationale
TNFD	C1.1	Close match	Medium	Combating soil sealing, open ground and set-aside areas/EBS reflect land-use change and conserved/restored areas.
Taxonomie UE	7.1-SC-c	Close match	High	The CBS/CBSh, the definition of open ground and combating sealing minimise land take and maximise vegetated/permeable areas.
SFDR	PAI-T2-LANDDEG	Related match	Indicative (45%)	The definition and preservation of open ground limit soil sealing/degradation.
GBF	Target 12	Close match	High	The core of the Effinature standard (creating green spaces (plant heritage, CBS, open ground, building greening) and blue spaces (stormwater), ecological continuities and user well-being/connection to nature in the built environment) corresponds directly to the increase in area, quality and connectivity of urban green and blue spaces targeted by the goal.
NRL	Art. 8	Close match	High	Open ground, combating soil sealing and heat islands, land use and open-ground reservoirs for street-alignment trees ensure the maintenance and development of urban green-space surfaces and tree cover.
SNB 2030	SNB-M01	Close match	High	The definition and requirement of open ground preserve the non-artificialised living soil, at the heart of the ZAN objective.
SNB 2030	SNB-M02	Broad match	Medium	Open ground is the preferred support for renaturation and infiltration in the city.
SNB 2030	SNB-M09	Related match	Low	Open ground allows the planting of adapted trees in the city.
Code urb.	L151-22-CPT	Exact match	High	The open-ground coefficient (share of open ground imposed by the regulations) corresponds exactly to the definition of open ground of EFF-C-005.
Nomenclature ZAN	ZAN-ART-1	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).
Nomenclature ZAN	ZAN-ART-3	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.
HQE	HQE-BD-C1.2d	Related match	Low	The plot's permeable/open-ground surfaces overlap with the definition of open ground.
Labels complémentaires	LPO-08	Close match	Medium (70%)	Preservation of open ground, support of the living soil.
ÉcoQuartier	Engagement 20	Broad match	High	The ÉcoQuartier's soil preservation/restoration encompasses this Effinature requirement for preserving living soil (state, quality, land use, sealing, CBS/open ground).
DGNB	ENV5-A	Related match	Low	Full-ground (pleine terre) definition ~ unsealed permeable land.
CASBEE	LR3.5	Related match	Low	The definition of open ground supports water retention/cooling, comparable to anti-heat-island permeable surfaces.
Green Mark / CBI	GM-LRA	Related match	Medium	The LRA requires a restored vegetated area; Effinature's definition of open ground frames the non-sealed vegetated area.
ARB IdF	IND-03bis	Close match	High	The definition and conservation of open ground at the operation scale is the exact object of the indicator.
