CCADB Update: Enhancements to the CA/B Forum Certificate Policy Identifier and Intended Use Case(s) Served fields

[CCADB Support]

All,

On July 30, 2026 at approximately 08:00 PM PT, the CCADB will be updated with enhancements to the `CA/B Forum Certificate Policy Identifier` and `Intended Use Case(s) Served` fields.

This release includes:

• Updating the `Intended Use Case(s) Served` available options in the Add/Update Root Request case by adding BIMI and removing a few existing use cases (i.e., Encrypting File System, IP Security, and Document Signing AATL) from future field selection. This field also includes validation logic that aligns with the single-use hierarchies described in multiple CCADB Root Store Operator policies.
• Adding other `CA/B Forum Certificate Policy Identifiers` to the available selections for completeness. This change applies to the Add/Update Root Request case and directly to intermediate certificate records.

We will send another message when the update is complete.

Best regards,
-CCADB Support
