The Union database of notifications from providers of electronic communications networks and services, established by BEREC under the European Electronic Communications Code. It aggregates the notifications made to national regulators under the general authorisation regime; it does not replace them and it is not a licence register.
Domain Rating is a dated Ahrefs snapshot of domain authority. PetroHrys Score is an independent editorial assessment of the directory’s practical business value. They are separate measurements and are never combined. Domain Rating values are dated historical Ahrefs snapshots. Domain Rating is a dated historical measurement of the shared domain, not an assessment of this individual registry page. New measurements are not collected because the Research Center does not depend on mandatory authenticated APIs. Where several registries are published on one measured domain they repeat that domain’s single dated snapshot rather than each carrying a figure of its own. Domain Rating is a third-party metric produced by their respective providers, not by PetroHrys.com. Each recorded value carries its provider and the date it was measured, and describes the domain that was measured rather than one page on it. No source has been consulted for authority score, estimated traffic and referring domains, so they are not published for any record.
Partly open The database was served anonymously with no credential, so login is recorded as not required. It is a JavaScript application that did not render its search to a non-executing client, so result content, coverage and any limits were not observed and stay null.
Assessment
Strengths
Its legal basis is stated on the database itself: Article 12 of Directive (EU) 2018/1972 and Article 4(1)(l)(i) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1971.
It is the only single interface covering notified providers across EU member states, which no national register can offer.
It can be searched by provider name, legal status, address and country, and by network type, service type, wholesale or retail level, public availability and geographical area.
Limitations
It is a database of NOTIFICATIONS, not of licences. Under the general authorisation regime a provider notifies the regulator; no individual licence is granted, and an entry must not be read as one.
It aggregates what national regulators transmit. The national register remains the legal source of record, and a discrepancy is resolved there rather than here.
Being recorded here proves nothing about spectrum or numbering. Notification as an operator, an individual spectrum authorisation and an allocation of numbers are three separate legal acts kept in three separate systems. This database covers only the operator notification.
Providers of number-independent interpersonal communications services — email and messaging — are outside the notification duty in several member states, so absence does not establish that a service is unlawful or unregulated.
The interface is a JavaScript application, so it could not be exercised and nothing about result content or coverage is asserted.

Best for
Finding electronic communications providers notified in more than one EU member state from a single interface.
Establishing that a provider has notified a national regulator under the general authorisation regime.
Not recommended for
Treating an entry as a licence. The general authorisation regime replaced individual licensing; a notification is not a licence.
Treating the Union database as the legal source. The national register of the member state remains the source of record.

Establishing required submission assets requires submitting a listing and observing the result. That has not been done for any directory in this dataset, so it is not published rather than estimated.

The PetroHrys Score is a first-party editorial assessment, not a third-party
authority metric. It is the weighted sum of the ten factors above, divided by ten, so the number
on this page is reproducible from the values shown. Each factor is scored from 0 to 10 by a human reviewer and weighted as shown. The definitions describe what was weighed, not a rubric: no threshold or formula maps a directory onto a value, and two reviewers could reach different numbers. The score is reproducible from the factors shown on every record, but it is an editorial judgement, not a measurement.
