Information on national voluntary accreditation schemes, including any additional requirements pursuant to Article 3(7):
Over the last few years a voluntary accreditation scheme, named TTP.NL, has been developed. This scheme is meant to assess Certificate Service Providers (CSP's) on compliance with ETSI TS 101 456. TTP.NL is a self regulation initiative, stimulated by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and occurs under the administration of the College van Belanghebbenden TTP.NL. For more information about this scheme, contact ECP.NL: info@ecp.nl ; tel. +31704190309; http://www.ecp.nl/college-van-belanghebbenden-ttpnl.
According to the Dutch law on electronic signatures (article 18.16 Telecommunications Act), the Minister of Economic Affairs may designate certification bodies that want to issue (under a voluntary accreditation scheme, such as TTP.NL) certificates of conformity to CSP's complying with the requirements as laid down in the Dutch law on electronic signatures. Currently several of such certification bodies are designated.
