It has a fixed stand without tilt and swivel mechanism and is presented with a remote control.

8528 72 40

Classification is determined by the provisions of general rules 1, 2(a) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8528 , 8528 72 and 8528 72 40 .

Given its objective characteristics, namely the slot for the insertion of a so-called ‘tuner’, the presence of a MPEG decoder and electronics for controlling the channel selection (tuning) and memorisation, the apparatus has the essential character of a complete reception apparatus for television. Consequently, classification under subheadings 8528 51 or 8528 59 as a monitor is excluded.

The apparatus is therefore to be classified under CN code 8528 72 40 as a reception apparatus for television with a screen of the liquid crystal display (LCD) technology.

ANNEX

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR A COMMON TEMPLATE FOR THE ‘TRUSTED LIST OF SUPERVISED/ACCREDITED CERTIFICATION SERVICE PROVIDERS’

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

1.   Introduction

The purpose of the Common Template for Member States’ ‘Trusted List of supervised/accredited Certification Service Providers’ is to establish a common way in which each Member State provides information about the supervision/accreditation status of the certification services from Certification Service Providers (1) (CSPs) who are supervised/accredited by them for compliance with the relevant provisions of Directive 1999/93/EC. This includes the provision of historical information about the supervision/accreditation status of the supervised/accredited certification services.

This information is primarily aimed at supporting the validation of Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES) and Advanced Electronic Signatures (AdES) (2) supported by a Qualified Certificate (3)
   (4).

The mandatory information in the Trusted List must include, as a minimum, information on supervised/accredited CSPs issuing Qualified Certificates (QCs) (5) in accordance with the provisions laid down in Directive 1999/93/EC (Article 3(2) and (3), and Article 7(1)(a)), including, when this is not part of the QCs, information on the QCs supporting an electronic signature and whether or not the signature is created by a Secure Signature Creation Device (SSCD) (6).

Additional information on other CSPs not issuing QCs but providing services related to electronic signatures (e.g. CSP providing Time Stamping Services and issuing Time Stamp Tokens, CSP issuing non-Qualified certificates, etc.) may be included in the Trusted List at a national level on a voluntary basis provided they are either accredited/supervised in a similar way as the CSPs issuing QC or approved under a different national approval scheme. The national approval schemes may in some Member States differ from the supervision or voluntary accreditation schemes applicable for CSPs issuing QCs with regard to applicable requirements and/or the responsible organisation. The terms ‘accredited’ and/or ‘supervised’ in the present specifications also cover the national approval schemes but additional information on the nature of any national schemes will be provided by Member States in their Trusted List, including clarification on the possible differences with the accreditation/supervision schemes applied to CSPs issuing QCs.

The Common Template relies on ETSI TS 119 612 v1.1.1 (7) (hereafter referred to as ETSI TS 119 612) that addresses the establishment, publication, location, access, authentication and integrity of such lists.

2.   Structure of the Common Template for the Trusted List

The Common Template for a Member State Trusted List is structured according to ETSI TS 119 612 into the following categories of information:

| 1. | A trusted list tag facilitating the identification of the Trusted List during electronic searches; |
| --- | --- |

1.

A trusted list tag facilitating the identification of the Trusted List during electronic searches;

| 2. | Information on the Trusted List and its issuing scheme; |
| --- | --- |

2.

Information on the Trusted List and its issuing scheme;

| 3. | A sequence of fields containing unambiguous identification information about every supervised/accredited CSP under the scheme (this sequence is optional, i.e. when not used, the list will be deemed to have no content thereby denoting the absence of any supervised or accredited CSP in the associated Member State for the purposes of the Trusted List); |
| --- | --- |

3.

A sequence of fields containing unambiguous identification information about every supervised/accredited CSP under the scheme (this sequence is optional, i.e. when not used, the list will be deemed to have no content thereby denoting the absence of any supervised or accredited CSP in the associated Member State for the purposes of the Trusted List);

| 4. | For each listed CSP, the details of its specific trust services, the current status of which are recorded within the Trusted List, are provided as a sequence of fields unambiguously identifying supervised/accredited certification services provided by the CSP and their current status (this sequence must have a minimum of one entry); |
| --- | --- |

4.

For each listed CSP, the details of its specific trust services, the current status of which are recorded within the Trusted List, are provided as a sequence of fields unambiguously identifying supervised/accredited certification services provided by the CSP and their current status (this sequence must have a minimum of one entry);

| 5. | For each listed supervised/accredited certification service, the information on the history of this status, when applicable; |
| --- | --- |

5.

For each listed supervised/accredited certification service, the information on the history of this status, when applicable;

| 6. | The signature applied on the Trusted List. |
| --- | --- |

6.

The signature applied on the Trusted List.

In the context of a CSP issuing QCs, the structure of the Trusted List and in particular the service information component (as per point 4 above) allows for complementary information in service information extensions to compensate for those situations where insufficient (machine processable) information is available within the qualified certificate about its ‘qualified’ status, its potential support by an SSCD and especially in order to cope with the additional fact that most of the (commercial) CSPs are using one single issuing Certification Authority (CA) to issue several types of end-entity certificates, both qualified and non-qualified.

In the context of certificate generation (CA) services, the number of service entries in the list for a CSP may be reduced where one or several upper CA services exist within the CSP’s PKI (e.g. in the context of a hierarchy of CAs from a Root CA down to several issuing CAs) by listing such upper CA services and not the CA services issuing end-entity certificates (e.g. listing the CSP Root CA only). However in those cases, the status information applies to the whole hierarchy of CA services below the listed service and the principle of ensuring the unambiguous link between a CSPQC certification service and the set of certificates intended to be identified as QCs has to be maintained and ensured.

The Trusted List of a Member State means the ‘Supervision/Accreditation Status List of certification services from Certification Service Providers who are supervised/accredited by the referenced Member State for compliance with the relevant provisions of Directive 1999/93/EC’.

Such a Trusted List is the single instrument to be used by the relevant Member State to provide information on the supervision/accreditation status of certification services and their providers:

| — | all Certification Service Providers, as defined in Article 2(11) of Directive 1999/93/EC, i.e. ‘entity or a legal or natural person who issues certificates or provides other services related to electronic signatures’, |
| --- | --- |

—

all Certification Service Providers, as defined in Article 2(11) of Directive 1999/93/EC, i.e. ‘entity or a legal or natural person who issues certificates or provides other services related to electronic signatures’,

| — | that are supervised/accredited for compliance with the relevant provisions laid down in Directive 1999/93/EC. |
| --- | --- |

—

that are supervised/accredited for compliance with the relevant provisions laid down in Directive 1999/93/EC.

When considering the definitions and provisions laid down in Directive 1999/93/EC, in particular with regard to the relevant CSPs and their supervision/voluntary accreditation systems, two sets of CSPs can be distinguished, namely the CSPs issuing QCs to the public (CSPQC), and the CSPs not issuing QCs to the public but providing ‘other (ancillary) services related to electronic signatures’:

| — | CSPs issuing QCs:






  — | They must be supervised by the Member State in which they are established (if they are established in a Member State) and may also be accredited for compliance with the provisions laid down in Directive 1999/93/EC, including with the requirements of Annex I (requirements for QCs), and those of Annex II (requirements for CSPs issuing QCs). CSPs issuing QCs that are accredited in a Member State must still fall under the appropriate supervision system of that Member State unless they are not established in that Member State. |

They must be supervised by the Member State in which they are established (if they are established in a Member State) and may also be accredited for compliance with the provisions laid down in Directive 1999/93/EC, including with the requirements of Annex I (requirements for QCs), and those of Annex II (requirements for CSPs issuing QCs). CSPs issuing QCs that are accredited in a Member State must still fall under the appropriate supervision system of that Member State unless they are not established in that Member State.

| — | The applicable ‘supervision’ system (respectively ‘voluntary accreditation’ system) is defined and must meet the relevant requirements of Directive 1999/93/EC, in particular those laid down in Article 3(3), Article 8(1), Article 11, recital 13 (respectively, Article 2(13), Article 3(2), Article 7(1)(a), Article 8(1), Article 11, recitals 4, 11, 12 and 13). |

| — | CSPs not issuing QCs:






  — | They may fall under a ‘voluntary accreditation’ system (as defined in and in accordance with Directive 1999/93/EC) and/or under a nationally defined ‘recognised approval scheme’ implemented on a national basis for the supervision of compliance with the provisions laid down in that Directive and possibly with national provisions with regard to the provision of certification services (in the sense of Article 2(11) of Directive 1999/93/EC). |

They may fall under a ‘voluntary accreditation’ system (as defined in and in accordance with Directive 1999/93/EC) and/or under a nationally defined ‘recognised approval scheme’ implemented on a national basis for the supervision of compliance with the provisions laid down in that Directive and possibly with national provisions with regard to the provision of certification services (in the sense of Article 2(11) of Directive 1999/93/EC).

| — | Some of the physical or binary (logical) objects generated or issued as a result of the provision of a certification service may be entitled to a specific ‘qualification’ on the basis of their compliance with the provisions and requirements laid down at national level, but the meaning of such a ‘qualification’ is likely to be limited solely to the national level. |

—

Some of the physical or binary (logical) objects generated or issued as a result of the provision of a certification service may be entitled to a specific ‘qualification’ on the basis of their compliance with the provisions and requirements laid down at national level, but the meaning of such a ‘qualification’ is likely to be limited solely to the national level.

One single Trusted List must be established and maintained per Member State to indicate the supervision and/or accreditation status of those certification services from those CSPs that are supervised/accredited by the Member State. The Trusted List shall include at least those CSPs issuing QCs. The Trusted List may also indicate the status of other certification services supervised or accredited under a nationally defined approval scheme.

3.2.   A single set of Supervision/Accreditation status values

In the Trusted List, the fact that a service is currently either ‘supervised’ or ‘accredited’ is given by the value of its current status. In addition to that, a supervision or accreditation status can be positive (‘under supervision’, ‘accredited’, ‘supervision in cessation’), ceased (‘supervision ceased’, ‘accreditation ceased’), or even revoked (‘supervision revoked’, ‘accreditation revoked’) and be set to the corresponding value. Throughout its lifetime, the same certification service may move from a supervision status to an accreditation status and vice versa (8).

Figure 1 below describes the expected flow, for one single certification service, between possible supervision/accreditation statuses:

Figure 1

Possible Current Status when there is no associated supervision model (e.g. for a CSP accredited in a Member State in which it is not established)

Possible Current Status

When established in a Member State, a certification service issuing QCs must be supervised (by the Member State in which it is established) and may be voluntarily accredited. The status value of such a service when listed in a Trusted List must have one of the above depicted status values as ‘current status value’ in accordance with its actual status and must change, when applicable, according to the status flow depicted above. However, ‘Accreditation ceased’ and ‘Accreditation revoked’ must both be ‘transit status’ values when the corresponding CSPQC service is listed in the Trusted List of the Member State in which it is established, as such a service must be supervised by default (even when not or no longer accredited); when the corresponding service is listed (accredited) in another Member State than the one it is established in, these values may be final values.

Member States establishing or having established a nationally defined ‘recognised approval scheme(s)’ implemented on a national basis for the supervision of compliance of services from CSPs not issuing QCs with the provisions laid down in Directive 1999/93/EC and with possible national provisions with regard to the provision of certification services (in the sense of Article 2(11) of Directive 1999/93/EC) must categorise such approval scheme(s) under the following two categories:

| — | ‘voluntary accreditation’ as defined and regulated in Directive 1999/93/EC (Article 2(13), Article 3(2), Article 7(1)(a), Article 8(1), Article 11, recitals 4, 11, 12 and 13), |
| --- | --- |

—

‘voluntary accreditation’ as defined and regulated in Directive 1999/93/EC (Article 2(13), Article 3(2), Article 7(1)(a), Article 8(1), Article 11, recitals 4, 11, 12 and 13),

| — | ‘supervision’ as required in Directive 1999/93/EC and implemented by national provisions and requirements in accordance with national laws. |
| --- | --- |

—

‘supervision’ as required in Directive 1999/93/EC and implemented by national provisions and requirements in accordance with national laws.

Accordingly, a certification service not issuing QCs may be supervised or voluntarily accredited. The status value of such a service when listed in a Trusted List must have one of the above depicted status values as its ‘current status value’ (see Figure 1) in accordance with its actual status and must evolve, when applicable, according to the status flow depicted above.

The Trusted List must contain information about the underlying supervision/accreditation scheme(s), in particular:

| — | Information on the supervision system applicable to any CSPQC, |
| --- | --- |

—

Information on the supervision system applicable to any CSPQC,

| — | Information, when applicable, on the national ‘voluntary accreditation’ scheme applicable to any CSPQC, |
| --- | --- |

—

Information, when applicable, on the national ‘voluntary accreditation’ scheme applicable to any CSPQC,

| — | Information, when applicable, on the supervision system applicable to any CSP not issuing QCs, |
| --- | --- |

—

Information, when applicable, on the supervision system applicable to any CSP not issuing QCs,

| — | Information, when applicable, on the national ‘voluntary accreditation’ scheme applicable to any CSP not issuing QCs. |
| --- | --- |

—

Information, when applicable, on the national ‘voluntary accreditation’ scheme applicable to any CSP not issuing QCs.

The last two sets of information are of critical importance for relying parties to assess the quality and security level of such supervision/accreditation systems applied at national level to CSPs not issuing QCs. When supervision/accreditation status information is provided in the Trusted List with regard to services from CSPs not issuing QCs, the aforementioned sets of information shall be provided at Trusted List level through the use of ‘Scheme information URI’ (clause 5.3.7 — information being provided by Member States), ‘Scheme type/community/rules’ (clause 5.3.9 — through the use of a text common to all Member States, and optional specific information provided by a Member State) and ‘TSL policy/legal notice’ (clause 5.3.11 — a text common to all Member States referring to Directive 1999/93/EC, together with the ability for each Member State to add Member State specific text/references).

Additional ‘qualification’ information defined at the level of national supervision/accreditation systems for CSPs not issuing QCs may be provided at the service level when applicable and required (e.g. to distinguish between several quality/security levels) through the use of ‘additionalServiceInformation Extension’ (clause 5.5.9.4) as part of ‘Service information extensions’ (clause 5.5.9). Further information on the corresponding technical specifications is provided in the detailed specifications in Chapter I.

Despite the fact that separate bodies of a Member State may be in charge of the supervision and accreditation of certification services in that Member State, it is expected that only one entry must be used for one single certification service and that its supervision/accreditation status must be updated accordingly.

3.3.   Trusted List entries aiming at facilitating the validation of QES and AdESQC

The most critical part of the creation of the Trusted List is the establishment of the mandatory part of the Trusted List, namely the ‘List of services’ per CSP issuing QCs, in order to reflect correctly the exact situation of each QC-issuing certification service and to ensure that the information provided in each entry is sufficient to facilitate the validation of QES and AdESQC (when combined with the content of the end-entity QC issued by the CSP under the certification service listed in this entry).

The required information might include information other than the ‘Service digital identity’ of a single (Root) CA, in particular information identifying the QC status of certificates issued by such a CA service, and whether or not the supported signatures are created by an SSCD. The Body in a Member State that is designated to establish, edit and maintain the Trusted List must therefore take into account the current profile and certificate content in each issued QC, per CSPQC service covered by the Trusted List.

Ideally each issued QC should include the ETSI defined QcCompliance (9) statement when it is claimed that it is a QC and should include the ETSI defined QcSSCD statement when it is claimed that it is supported by an SSCD to generate eSignatures, and/or that each issued QC includes one of the QCP/QCP+ certificate policy Object Identifiers (OIDs) defined in ETSI EN 319 411-2 (10). The use by CSPs issuing QCs of different standards as references, the wide degree of interpretation of those standards as well as the lack of awareness of the existence and precedence of some normative technical specifications or standards has resulted in differences in the actual content of currently issued QCs (e.g. the use or not of those QcStatements defined by ETSI) and consequently are preventing the receiving parties from simply relying on the signatory’s certificate (and associated chain/path) to assess, at least in a machine readable way, whether or not the certificate supporting an eSignature is claimed to be a QC and whether or not it is associated with an SSCD through which the eSignature has been created.

Completing the ‘Service type identifier’ (‘Sti’), ‘Service name’ (‘Sn’), and ‘Service digital identity’ (‘Sdi’) fields of the service entry in the Trusted List with information provided in the ‘Service information extensions’ (‘Sie’) field allows for the full determination of a specific type of qualified certificate issued by a listed CSP certification service issuing QCs and provides information about whether or not it is supported by an SSCD (when such information is missing in the issued QC). A specific ‘Service current status’ (‘Scs’) information is associated with this entry. This is depicted in Figure 2 below.

Listing a service by just providing the ‘Sdi’ of a (Root) CA would mean that it is ensured (by the CSP issuing QCs but also by the Supervisory/Accreditation Body in charge of the supervision/accreditation of this CSP) that any end-entity certificate issued under this (Root) CA (hierarchy) contains enough ETSI defined and machine-processable information to assess whether or not it is a QC, and whether or not it is supported by an SSCD. In the event, for example, that the latter assertion is not true (e.g. there is no ETSI standardised machine-processable indication in the QC about whether it is supported by an SSCD), then by listing only the ‘Sdi’ of that (Root) CA, it can only be assumed that QCs issued under this (Root) CA hierarchy are not supported by any SSCD. In order to indicate that those QCs must be considered as supported by an SSCD, the ‘Sie’ field should be used (this also indicates that this information is guaranteed by the CSP issuing QCs and supervised/accredited by the Supervisory or Accreditation Body respectively).

3.4.   Editing and usage guidelines for CSPQC services entries

The general editing guidelines are:

| 1. | If it is ensured (guarantee provided by CSPQC and supervised/accredited by Supervisory Body (SB)/Accreditation Body (AB)) that, for a listed service identified by a ‘Sdi’, any QC supported by an SSCD does contain the ETSI defined QcCompliance statement, and does contain the QcSSCD statement and/or QCP+ Object Identifier (OID), then the use of an appropriate ‘Sdi’ is sufficient and the ‘Sie’ field can be used as an option and will not need to contain the SSCD support information. |

| 3. | If it is ensured (guarantee provided by CSPQC and supervised/accredited by SB/AB) that, for a listed service identified by a ‘Sdi’, any QC does contain the QcCompliance statement, and some of these QCs are meant to be supported by SSCDs and some not (e.g. this may be differentiated by different CSP specific Certificate Policy OIDs or through other CSP specific information in the QC, directly or indirectly, machine-processable or not), but a certificate that is supported by an SSCD contains NEITHER the QcSSCD statement NOR the ETSI QCP(+) OID, then the use of an appropriate ‘Sdi’ may not be sufficient AND the ‘Sie’ field must be used to indicate explicit SSCD support information together with a potential information extension to identify the covered set of certificates. This is likely to require the inclusion of different ‘SSCD support information values’ for the same ‘Sdi’ when making use of the ‘Sie’ field. |

This is likely to require the inclusion of different ‘SSCD support information values’ for the same ‘Sdi’ when making use of the ‘Sie’ field.

As a general default principle, for a listed CSP in the Trusted List there must be one service entry per single public key for a CA/QC type certification service, i.e. per Certification Authority (directly) issuing QCs. In some exceptional circumstances and carefully managed conditions, the Member State’s Supervisory Body/Accreditation Body may decide to use, as the ‘Sdi’ of a single entry in the list of services from this listed CSP, the public key of a Root or Upper level CA within the CSP’s PKI (e.g. in the context of a CSP’s hierarchy of CAs from a Root CA down to several issuing CAs) instead of listing all sub-ordinate issuing CA services (i.e. listing a Certification Authority not directly issuing end-entity QCs but certifying a hierarchy of CAs down to CAs issuing QCs to end-entities). The consequences (advantages and disadvantages) of using such Root CA or Upper CA public key as ‘Sdi’ value in a Trusted List service entry must be carefully considered when implemented by Member States. Moreover, when using this authorised exception to the default principle, the Member State must provide the necessary documentation to facilitate certification path building and verification. As an example, in the context of a CSPQC using one Root CA under which several CAs are issuing QCs and non-QCs, but for which the QCs do contain only the QcCompliance statement and no indication of whether it is supported by an SSCD, listing the Root CA ‘Sdi’ only would mean, under the rules explained above, that none of the QC issued under this Root CA is supported by an SSCD. If there are QCs that are actually supported by an SSCD but with no machine processable statement indicating such support included in the certificates, it would be strongly recommended to make use of the QcSSCD statement in the QCs issued in the future. In the meantime (until the last QC not containing this information has expired), the Trusted List should make use of the ‘Sie’ field and associated ‘Qualifications Extension’, e.g. providing filtering information to identify set(s) of certificates through use of specific CSPQC defined OID(s) potentially used by the CSPQC to distinguish between different types of QCs (some supported by an SSCD and some not) and associating explicit ‘SSCD support information’ to those identified (filtered) set(s) of certificates through the use of ‘Qualifiers’.

The general usage guidelines for electronic signature applications, services or products relying on a Trusted List compliant with the present Technical Specifications are as follows:

A ‘CA/QC’
  ‘Sti’ entry (similarly a CA/QC entry further qualified as being a ‘RootCA/QC’ through the use of ‘Sie’ additionalServiceInformation Extension)

| — | indicates that from the ‘Sdi’ identified CA (similarly within the CA hierarchy starting from the ‘Sdi’ identified RootCA), all issued end-entity certificates are QCs provided that it is claimed as such in the certificate through the use of appropriate machine processable QcStatement (i.e. QcCompliance) and/or ETSI defined QCP(+) OIDs (and this is ensured by Supervisory/Accreditation Body, see above ‘general editing guidelines’)

  Note: if no ‘Sie’
  ‘Qualifications Extension’ information is present or if an end-entity certificate that is claimed to be a QC is not further identified through a related ‘Sie’
  ‘Qualifications Extension’, then the machine-processable information to be found in the QC is supervised/accredited to be accurate. That means that the usage (or not) of the appropriate QcStatements (i.e. QcCompliance, QcSSCD) and/or ETSI defined QCP(+) OIDs is ensured to be in accordance with what it is claimed by the CSPQC. |

3.5.   Services supporting ‘CA/QC’ services but not part of the ‘CA/QC’
  ‘Sdi’

Certificate validity status services related to QCs and for which the certificate validity status information (e.g. CRLs and OCSP responses) is signed by an entity whose private key is not certified under a certification path leading to a listed CA issuing QCs (‘CA/QC’) shall be included in Trusted List by listing those certificate validity status services as such in the TL (i.e. with a service type ‘OCSP/QC’ or ‘CRL/QC’ respectively) since these services can be considered as part of the supervised/accredited ‘qualified’ services related to the provision of QC certification services. Of course, OCSP responders or CRL Issuers whose certificates are signed by CAs under the hierarchy of a listed CA/QC service are to be considered as ‘valid’ and in accordance with the status value of the listed CA/QC service.

A similar provision can apply to certification services issuing non-qualified certificates (of a ‘CA/PKC’ service type).

The Trusted List shall include certificate validity status services when related location information for such services is not present in the end-entity certificates to which the certificate validity status services apply.

  Participation in a scheme

  Each Member State must create a ‘Trusted List of supervised/accredited Certification Service Providers’ providing information about the supervision/accreditation status of certification services from Certification Service Providers (CSPs) who are supervised/accredited by the relevant Member State for compliance with the relevant provisions of Directive 1999/93/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 December 1999 on a Community framework for electronic signatures.
  The present implementation of such Trusted Lists is also to be referred to in the list of links (pointers) towards each Member State’s Trusted List, compiled by the European Commission.

  Policy/rules for the assessment of the listed services

  The Trusted List of a Member State must provide, as a minimum, information on supervised/accredited CSPs issuing Qualified Certificates in accordance with the provisions laid down in Directive 1999/93/EC (Article 3(2) and (3) and Article 7(1)(a)), including information on the Qualified Certificate (QC) supporting the electronic signature and whether the signature is or not created by a Secure Signature Creation Device.

CSPs issuing QCs that are accredited in a Member State must still fall under the appropriate supervision system of that Member State unless they are not established in that Member State. The applicable ‘supervision’ system (respectively ‘voluntary accreditation’ system) is defined and must meet the relevant requirements of Directive 1999/93/EC, in particular those laid down in Article 3(3), Article 8)(1), Article 11 (respectively, Article 2(13), Article 3(2), Article 7(1)(a), Article 8(1), Article 11).
