Introduction
ITU and ISO issued standards for certification of public keys in Recommendation ITU-T X.509 | ISO/IEC 9594-8 [i.7]
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
RFC which is directed at natural persons only.
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
framework.
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)
No 910/2014 [i.8] Annexes I, III and IV.
ETSI
6 ETSI EN 319 412-5 V2.2.1 (2017-11)
1 Scope
The present document defines specific QCStatement for the qcStatements extension as defined in IETF
RFC 3739 [2], clause 3.2.6, including requirements for their use in EU qualified certificates. Some of these
QCStatements can be used for other forms of certificate.
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.
The QCStatements defined in clause 4.3 may be applied to regulatory environments outside the EU. Other
requirements specified in clause 4 are specific to Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.8] but may be adapted for other
regulatory environments.

Introduction
ITU and ISO issued standards for certification of public keys in Recommendation ITU-T X.509 | ISO/IEC 9594-8 [i.7]
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
RFC which is directed at natural persons only.
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
framework.
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)
No 910/2014 [i.8] Annexes I, III and IV.
ETSI

1 Scope
The present document defines specific QCStatement for the qcStatements extension as defined in IETF
RFC 3739 [2], clause 3.2.6, including requirements for their use in EU qualified certificates. Some of these
QCStatements can be used for other forms of certificate.
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.
The QCStatements defined in clause 4.3 may be applied to regulatory environments outside the EU. Other
requirements specified in clause 4 are specific to Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.8] but may be adapted for other
regulatory environments.
