General information about trusted lists under regulation (EU) NO 910/2014

Trusted lists are essential elements in building trust among electronic market operators by allowing users to determine the qualified status and the status history of trust service providers and their services.

The trusted lists of Member States include, as a minimum, information specified in Articles 1 and 2 of Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/1505.

Member States may include in the trusted lists information on non-qualified trust service providers, together with information related to the non-qualified trust services provided by them. It shall be clearly indicated that they are not qualified according to Regulation (EU) No 910/2014.

Member States may include in the trusted lists information on nationally defined trust services of other types than those defined under Article 3(16) of Regulation (EU) No 910/2014. It shall be clearly indicated that they are not qualified according to Regulation (EU) No 910/2014.

Trusted list of France 

The present list is the trusted list including information related to the qualified trust service providers which are supervised by France, together with information related to the qualified trust services provided by them, in accordance with the relevant provisions laid down in Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 2014 on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market and repealing Directive 1999/93/EC.

The cross-border use of electronic signatures has been facilitated through Commission Decision 2009/767/EC of 16 October 2009 which has set the obligation for Member States to establish, maintain and publish trusted lists with information related to certification service providers issuing qualified certificates to the public in accordance with Directive 1999/93/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 December 1999 on a Community framework for electronic signatures and which are supervised/accredited by the Member States. The present trusted list is the continuation of the trusted list established with Decision 2009/767/EC.

National supervision system

Agence Nationale de la Sécurité des Systèmes d’Information (ANSSI) is, in France, the supervisory body in charge of granting and withdrawing the qualified status for trust service providers, and is responsible for establishing, maintaining and publishing the trusted list.

The process followed for the national supervision system is available here (French only).

French trusted list also contains informations related to trust service providers qualified according to French’s « Référentiel Général de Sécurité », and to non-qualified trust service providers which have asked ANSSI for registration in the list. This list is available here.
