which are used for the security of communications and data for a wide range of electronic applications.

The IETF qualified certificate profile, IETF RFC 3739 [2] defines an extension to X.509 certificates, the

qcStatements extension, which can include statements relevant for qualified certificates. IETF RFC 3739 [2]

defines qualified certificates in a general context as "a certificate whose primary purpose is to identify a person with a

high level of assurance, where the certificate meets some qualification requirements defined by an applicable legal

framework". The use of IETF RFC 3739 [2] qcStatements in the present document goes beyond the scope of the

The qcStatements certificate extension can contain any statement by the certificate issuer that can be useful to the

relying party in determining the applicability of the certificate for an intended usage. Such statement can be a

declaration that the certificate fulfils specific legal requirements for qualified certificates according to a defined legal

The present document is aiming to meet the general requirements of the international community to provide trust and

confidence in electronic transactions including, amongst others, applicable requirements from Regulation (EU)

The QCStatements defined in the present document can be used in combination with any certificate profile, either

defined in ETSI EN 319 412-2 [i.2], ETSI EN 319 412-3 [i.5] and ETSI EN 319 412-4 [i.6], or defined elsewhere.

A certificate that includes the esi4-qcStatement-1 statement with the aim to declare that it is an EU qualified certificate

that is issued according to Directive 1999/93/EC [i.3] or the Annex I, III or IV of the Regulation (EU)

This Qcstatement declares that the private key related to the certified public key resides in a Qualified

Signature/Seal Creation Device (QSCD) according to the Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.8] or a secure signature

This QCStatement declares that a certificate is issued as one and only one of the purposes of electronic signature,

When used in combination with the qcStatement as defined in clause 4.2.1, this QCStatement states that a qualified

certificate, within a specific legislative context, such as Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.8], is issued as one and only

one of the purposes of electronic signature, electronic seal or web site authentication.

When not used in combination with the qcStatement as defined in clause 4.2.1, it indicates that a certificate is issued as

one and only one of the purposes of electronic signatures, seals or web site authentication for "non-qualified

certificates" within a legislative context, which may be indicated by the qcStatement defined in clause 4.2.4.

EXAMPLE: This QCStatement states that an EU qualified certificate is issued as one specific types according

to Annexes I, III or IV of the Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.8] when used in combination with

This QCStatement declares a limitation on the value of transaction for which a certificate can be used.

The currency codes shall be as defined in ISO 4217 [4]. The alphabetic form should be used.

NOTE 1: This QCStatement was aimed at supporting Directive 1999/93/EC [i.3] which declared that qualified

certificates could declare "limits on the value of transactions for which the certificate can be used, if

applicable". The definition of EU qualified certificates according to the Regulation (EU)

NOTE 2: It is outside the scope of this QCStatement to define how CA liability is affected by inclusion of this

QCStatement. Relying parties can consult the certificate policy for further understanding of the

Reliance on qualified certificates can depend on the existence of external information retained by the CA.

This QCStatement declares a retention period for material information relevant to the use of and reliance on a

certificate, expressed as a number of years after the expiry date of the certificate.

NOTE: A significant aspect for an EU qualified certificate is that the Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.8] allows

name forms in certificates, such as pseudonyms, which can require assistance from the CA or a relevant

name registration authority, in order to identify the associated physical person in case of a dispute.

This QCStatement holds URLs to PKI Disclosure Statements (PDS) in accordance with Annex A of ETSI

Referenced PKI Disclosure Statements should be structured according to Annex A of ETSI EN 319 411-1 [i.10].

The signature of the certificate does not cover the content of the PDS and hence does not protect the integrity of the

PDS which can change over time. End users trust in the accuracy of a PDS is therefore based on the mechanisms used

to protect the authenticity of the PDS. As a minimum, a URL to a PDS provided in this statement shall use the "https"
