ETSI EN 319 411 2 Qualified Certificate Policy Guide

This page helps you understand who ETSI EN 319 411-2 is for and what it covers. It is for trust service providers that issue EU qualified certificates, and it explains the rules for issuing, managing, and revoking those certificates.

Start here if you need to know whether a topic is about issuing a certificate, checking identity, handling revocation, or reviewing the certificate policy rules. The linked pages separate EN 319 411-2 requirements from supporting EN 319 411-1 lifecycle material and eIDAS qualified trust-service context so readers can verify the basis for each topic.
