eIDAS

Regulation (EU) No. 910/2014 (eIDAS) and its revision, eIDAS 2.0, establish the European legal framework for electronic identification and trust services. The objective of the Regulation is to enable secure, interoperable and legally recognised electronic transactions throughout the Member States of the European Union.

Elektrotechnický zkušební ústav (EZÚ) is an accredited Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) for services covered by the eIDAS Regulation. Following the extension of its accreditation, EZÚ now also performs conformity assessment of the new qualified trust services introduced by eIDAS 2.0, which form the foundation of the future European Digital Identity (EUDI) ecosystem.

The eIDAS Regulation also covers electronic identification (eID), enabling secure and cross-border recognition of electronic identities when accessing public and private sector services. EZÚ performs conformity assessment of electronic identification systems in accordance with the requirements of eIDAS and the relevant European specifications.
