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.

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.

SIST EN 319 412-5 V2.3.1:2020
11 ETSI EN 319 412-5 V2.3.1 (2020-04)
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)
No 910/2014 [i.8] does not include any requirements on such declaration.
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
implications of this statement.
4.3.3 QCStatement indicating the duration of the retention period of
material information
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.
Syntax:
esi4-qcStatement-3 QC-STATEMENT ::= { SYNTAX QcEuRetentionPeriod IDENTIFIED
BY id-etsi-qcs-QcRetentionPeriod }
QcEuRetentionPeriod ::= INTEGER
id-etsi-qcs-QcRetentionPeriod OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-etsi-qcs 3 }
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.
4.3.4 QCStatement regarding location of PKI Disclosure Statements
(PDS)
This QCStatement holds URLs to PKI Disclosure Statements (PDS) in accordance with Annex A of ETSI
EN 319 411-1 [i.10].
Syntax:
esi4-qcStatement-5 QC-STATEMENT ::= { SYNTAX QcEuPDS IDENTIFIED
BY id-etsi-qcs-QcPDS }
QcEuPDS ::= PdsLocations
PdsLocations ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1.MAX) OF PdsLocation
PdsLocation::= SEQUENCE {
url IA5String,
language PrintableString (SIZE(2))} --ISO 639-1 language code
id-etsi-qcs-QcPDS OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-etsi-qcs 5 }
The language shall be as defined in ISO 639-1 [1].
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"
(https://) scheme, IETF RFC 2818 [5].

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.

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.

ETSI
---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
11 ETSI EN 319 412-5 V2.3.1 (2020-04)
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)
No 910/2014 [i.8] does not include any requirements on such declaration.
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
implications of this statement.
4.3.3 QCStatement indicating the duration of the retention period of
material information
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.
Syntax:
esi4-qcStatement-3 QC-STATEMENT ::= { SYNTAX QcEuRetentionPeriod IDENTIFIED
BY id-etsi-qcs-QcRetentionPeriod }
QcEuRetentionPeriod ::= INTEGER
id-etsi-qcs-QcRetentionPeriod OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-etsi-qcs 3 }
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.
4.3.4 QCStatement regarding location of PKI Disclosure Statements
(PDS)
This QCStatement holds URLs to PKI Disclosure Statements (PDS) in accordance with Annex A of ETSI
EN 319 411-1 [i.10].
Syntax:
esi4-qcStatement-5 QC-STATEMENT ::= { SYNTAX QcEuPDS IDENTIFIED
BY id-etsi-qcs-QcPDS }
QcEuPDS ::= PdsLocations
PdsLocations ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1.MAX) OF PdsLocation
PdsLocation::= SEQUENCE {
url IA5String,
language PrintableString (SIZE(2))} --ISO 639-1 language code
id-etsi-qcs-QcPDS OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-etsi-qcs 5 }
The language shall be as defined in ISO 639-1 [1].
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"
(https://) scheme, IETF RFC 2818 [5].

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.

6 Draft ETSI EN 319 412-5 V2.2.3 (2020-01)
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.

ETSI
---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
11 Draft ETSI EN 319 412-5 V2.2.3 (2020-01)
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)
No 910/2014 [i.8] does not include any requirements on such declaration.
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
implications of this statement.
4.3.3 QCStatement indicating the duration of the retention period of
material information
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.
Syntax:
esi4-qcStatement-3 QC-STATEMENT ::= { SYNTAX QcEuRetentionPeriod IDENTIFIED
BY id-etsi-qcs-QcRetentionPeriod }
QcEuRetentionPeriod ::= INTEGER
id-etsi-qcs-QcRetentionPeriod OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-etsi-qcs 3 }
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.
4.3.4 QCStatement regarding location of PKI Disclosure Statements
(PDS)
This QCStatement holds URLs to PKI Disclosure Statements (PDS) in accordance with Annex A of ETSI
EN 319 411-1 [i.10].
Syntax:
esi4-qcStatement-5 QC-STATEMENT ::= { SYNTAX QcEuPDS IDENTIFIED
BY id-etsi-qcs-QcPDS }
QcEuPDS ::= PdsLocations
PdsLocations ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1.MAX) OF PdsLocation
PdsLocation::= SEQUENCE {
url IA5String,
language PrintableString (SIZE(2))} --ISO 639-1 language code
id-etsi-qcs-QcPDS OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-etsi-qcs 5 }
The language shall be as defined in ISO 639-1 [1].
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"
(https://) scheme, IETF RFC 2818 [5].

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.

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.

11 Draft ETSI EN 319 412-5 V2.2.3 (2020-01)
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)
No 910/2014 [i.8] does not include any requirements on such declaration.
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
implications of this statement.
4.3.3 QCStatement indicating the duration of the retention period of
material information
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.
Syntax:
esi4-qcStatement-3 QC-STATEMENT ::= { SYNTAX QcEuRetentionPeriod IDENTIFIED
BY id-etsi-qcs-QcRetentionPeriod }
QcEuRetentionPeriod ::= INTEGER
id-etsi-qcs-QcRetentionPeriod OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-etsi-qcs 3 }
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.
4.3.4 QCStatement regarding location of PKI Disclosure Statements
(PDS)
This QCStatement holds URLs to PKI Disclosure Statements (PDS) in accordance with Annex A of ETSI
EN 319 411-1 [i.10].
Syntax:
esi4-qcStatement-5 QC-STATEMENT ::= { SYNTAX QcEuPDS IDENTIFIED
BY id-etsi-qcs-QcPDS }
QcEuPDS ::= PdsLocations
PdsLocations ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1.MAX) OF PdsLocation
PdsLocation::= SEQUENCE {
url IA5String,
language PrintableString (SIZE(2))} --ISO 639-1 language code
id-etsi-qcs-QcPDS OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-etsi-qcs 5 }
The language shall be as defined in ISO 639-1 [1].
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"
(https://) scheme, IETF RFC 2818 [5].
