Official text · ETSI EN 319 412-3 V1.3.1, § 1 Scope

The present document specifies a certificate profile for certificates issued to legal persons.

The profile builds on the requirements of EN 319 412-2 and covers EU qualified certificates as well as other certificates ETSI EN 319 412-3 V1.3.1, § 1 Scope ETSI EN 319 412-2 V2.4.1.

Who it applies to

To providers that issue qualified certificates for electronic seals Annex II.
To Member States, for the certificates they notify to the Commission in the context of the wallet Annex II.

Key points

Structure: in addition to general requirements, the standard deals with the certificate subject and key usage ETSI EN 319 412-3 V1.3.1, § 4 Profile requirements.
Subject: the organizationName attribute contains the full registered name; the organizationIdentifier attribute contains an identification of the organisation different from its name ETSI EN 319 412-3 V1.3.1, § 4.2.1 Subject.
Key usage: a dedicated subclause sets its rules ETSI EN 319 412-3 V1.3.1, § 4.3.1 Key usage.

What the acts apply, and how

Implementing Regulation 2025/1943: only Annex II, which concerns qualified certificates for seals, cites EN 319 412-3 version 1.3.1; Annex I (signature) does not cite it Annex II Annex I. Two adaptations: the reference to EN 319 412-2 becomes version 2.4.1, and requirement LEG-4.2.1-6 adds that the organizationIdentifier attribute contains, if an appropriate registration number is known to exist, that number as stated in the official register Annex II. A qualified certificate for seals that complies with these standards is presumed to comply with the requirements of Annex III to the regulation Art. 38(6); a recital adds that supervisory bodies should presume such compliance laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards reference standards for qualified certificates for electronic signatures and qualified certificates for electronic seals.
Implementing Regulation 2024/2980: the information that Member States send to the Commission includes one or more certificates conforming to EN 319 412-2 version 2.4.1 or EN 319 412-3 version 1.3.1. These certificates are used to verify the signature or seal applied by registrars of relying parties, providers of person identification data (PID) and providers of access certificates or relying party registration certificates; for wallet providers, they are used to authenticate and validate wallet unit attestations Annex II Art. 4(1). The obligation concerns the notification by Member States. The first four points were replaced, and the fifth (providers of registration certificates) added, by Implementing Regulation 2026/1731 Annex X.
Implementing Regulation 2025/2162: Annex II cites EN 319 412-3, without a version, for the issuance of qualified certificates for seals Annex II.

Cited version

Implementing Regulations 2025/1943 and 2024/2980 cite version 1.3.1 Annex II Annex II. The index of ETSI standards in the corpus, consulted on 31 October 2026, mentions a more recent published version, 1.4.1, whose text is not in the corpus. The same acts name EN 319 412-2 in version 2.4.1 Annex II Annex II. The index of ETSI standards in the corpus, consulted on 31 October 2026, mentions a more recent published version, 2.5.1, whose text is not in the corpus.

Error in the act

In the French version of Implementing Regulation 2025/1943, the title of Annex II refers to qualified certificates “de signature électronique” (for electronic signatures), like Annex I; the English version refers to electronic seals, and the regulation links Annex II to the provision of Regulation 910/2014 on qualified certificates for electronic seals

Annex II Art. 1

Art. 38(6).
