# Certifications and Labels

The OCP partners with several organizations to allow Project Developers to seek additional certifications and eligibility designations for their projects and credits.

All another certifications and eligibilities are **additional designations on top of standard OCP credit issuance**. All standard OCP requirements, including third-party validation and verification, permanence and buffer pool obligations, and no double-counting rules, continue to apply in full.

## Project Ratings

We have relationships with all the major carbon credit rating agencies and provide input to them as part of specific project rating assessments. Project developers, or their investors or buyers, can ask for introductions to the relevant rating teams, but the assessment process (and associated costs) will be run independently of the OCP.

We are in discussions to show project ratings on the OCP Registry.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://open-carbon-protocol.gitbook.io/ocp-handbook/registry/certifications-and-labels.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
