Introduction
Business and administrative relationships among companies, public administrations and private citizens are more and
more implemented electronically. Trust is essential for their success and continued development of electronic services.
It is therefore important that any entity using electronic services have suitable security controls and mechanisms in
place to protect their transactions and to ensure trust and confidence with their partners.
Electronic signatures are commonly used worldwide to ensure authenticity and integrity of electronic documents,
making it possible to transform traditional paper-based processes into electronic ones providing a comparable or even
higher level of assurance. As communication is becoming predominantly internet-based, secure and provable exchange
of documents is essential to the full digital transformation.
An electronic registered delivery service (ERDS hereinafter) provides secure and reliable delivery of electronic
messages between parties, producing evidence of the delivery process for legal accountability. Evidence can be seen as
a declaration by a trusted party that a specific event related to the delivery process (submission of a message, relay of a
message, delivery of a message, refusal of a message, etc.) happened at a certain time. Evidence can be immediately
delivered to the interested party (together with the message or separately) or can be kept in a repository for later access.
It is common practice to implement evidence as digitally signed data. Registered electronic mail (REM hereinafter) is a
specific type of electronic registered delivery, which builds on the formats, protocols and mechanisms used in ordinary
e-mail messaging.
In a number of national, regional or sector-specific communities electronic registered delivery and registered electronic
mail services are already in place, and even more are being developed. Without the definition of common standards
there will be no consistency in the services provided, making it difficult for users to compare them. Under these
circumstances, users might be prevented from easily changing to alternative providers, damaging free competition. Lack
of standardization might also adversely affect interoperability between implementations which are based on different
models.
The documents covering ERDS contain the general concepts and requirements which apply to all kinds of electronic
registered delivery services. Since REM is a specific type of electronic registered delivery, the documents covering
REM service build on the corresponding documents covering ERDS by referencing the necessary provisions, and define
the interpretation and specific requirements which apply only to registered electronic mail.
Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 2014 on electronic
identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market and repealing Directive
1999/93/EC [i.1] (Regulation (EU) No 910/2014, or Regulation hereinafter) provides a legal framework to facilitate
cross-border recognition between existing national legal systems related to electronic registered delivery services. That
framework aims to open new market opportunities for European Union trust service providers to offer new
pan-European electronic registered delivery services. The Regulation defines the so-called qualified electronic
registered delivery service (QERDS hereinafter), which is a special type of ERDS, where both the service and its
provider need to meet a number of additional requirements that the regular ERDSs and their providers do not need to
meet.
The framework of ERDS standards aims to cover the common and worldwide-recognized requirements to address
electronic registered delivery in a secure and reliable way, independent of the applicable legislative framework. The
documents contain generic requirements which can be applied in any geographic region. At the same time, the
framework of ERDS standards aims to support demonstrating compliance to the Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.1]
(and related secondary legislation), both for non-qualified and qualified electronic registered delivery services. Specific
clauses are included defining requirements applicable only to qualified electronic registered delivery services,
especially in the documents covering policy and security requirements. However, the legal effects are outside the scope
of the present document.

Introduction
Business and administrative relationships among companies, public administrations and private citizens are more and
more implemented electronically. Trust is essential for their success and continued development of electronic services.
It is therefore important that any entity using electronic services have suitable security controls and mechanisms in
place to protect their transactions and to ensure trust and confidence with their partners.
Electronic signatures are commonly used worldwide to ensure authenticity and integrity of electronic documents,
making it possible to transform traditional paper-based processes into electronic ones providing a comparable or even
higher level of assurance. As communication is becoming predominantly internet-based, secure and provable exchange
of documents is essential to the full digital transformation.
An electronic registered delivery service (ERDS hereinafter) provides secure and reliable delivery of electronic
messages between parties, producing evidence of the delivery process for legal accountability. Evidence can be seen as
a declaration by a trusted party that a specific event related to the delivery process (submission of a message, relay of a
message, delivery of a message, refusal of a message, etc.) happened at a certain time. Evidence can be immediately
delivered to the interested party (together with the message or separately) or can be kept in a repository for later access.
It is common practice to implement evidence as digitally signed data. Registered electronic mail (REM hereinafter) is a
specific type of electronic registered delivery, which builds on the formats, protocols and mechanisms used in ordinary
e-mail messaging.
In a number of national, regional or sector-specific communities electronic registered delivery and registered electronic
mail services are already in place, and even more are being developed. Without the definition of common standards
there will be no consistency in the services provided, making it difficult for users to compare them. Under these
circumstances, users might be prevented from easily changing to alternative providers, damaging free competition. Lack
of standardization might also adversely affect interoperability between implementations which are based on different
models.
The documents covering ERDS contain the general concepts and requirements which apply to all kinds of electronic
registered delivery services. Since REM is a specific type of electronic registered delivery, the documents covering
REM service build on the corresponding documents covering ERDS by referencing the necessary provisions, and define
the interpretation and specific requirements which apply only to registered electronic mail.
Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 2014 on electronic
identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market and repealing Directive
1999/93/EC [i.1] (Regulation (EU) No 910/2014, or Regulation hereinafter) provides a legal framework to facilitate
cross-border recognition between existing national legal systems related to electronic registered delivery services. That
framework aims to open new market opportunities for European Union trust service providers to offer new
pan-European electronic registered delivery services. The Regulation defines the so-called qualified electronic
registered delivery service (QERDS hereinafter), which is a special type of ERDS, where both the service and its
provider need to meet a number of additional requirements that the regular ERDSs and their providers do not need to
meet.
The framework of ERDS standards aims to cover the common and worldwide-recognized requirements to address
electronic registered delivery in a secure and reliable way, independent of the applicable legislative framework. The
documents contain generic requirements which can be applied in any geographic region. At the same time, the
framework of ERDS standards aims to support demonstrating compliance to the Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.1]
(and related secondary legislation), both for non-qualified and qualified electronic registered delivery services. Specific
clauses are included defining requirements applicable only to qualified electronic registered delivery services,
especially in the documents covering policy and security requirements. However, the legal effects are outside the scope
of the present document.
