The list referenced at the bottom of this page is the Italy's implementation of "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 Italian authorities 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 Trusted List of a Member State provides basic information on supervised/accredited CSPs issuing Qualified Certificates in accordance with the provisions laid down in Directive 1999/93/EC (Art. 3.3, 3.2 and Art. 7.1(a)), including information on the Qualified Certificates (QCs) supporting electronic signatures, including an indication of whether the signature is created by a Secure Signature Creation Device. All CSPs listed in the Italian Trusted List have been “voluntary accredited” and all the signatures are created by a Secure Signature Creation Device.
The CSPs issuing QC listed in the document referenced below are supervised by Italian authorities and are also 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). The applicable ‘supervision’ / ‘voluntary accreditation’ system is established to meet the relevant requirements of Directive 1999/93/EC, in particular those laid down in Art. 3.3, Art. 8.1, Art. 11 (also, Art.2.13, Art. 3.2, Art 7.1(a), Art. 8.1, Art. 11).
Additional information on supervised/accredited CSPs providing services related Time Stamping Services and issuing Time Stamp Tokens are also included in the Italy's Trusted List.
