Article 8
Assurance levels of electronic_identification schemes
1. An electronic_identification scheme notified pursuant to Article 9(1) shall specify assurance levels low, substantial and/or high for electronic_identification means issued under that scheme.
2. The assurance levels low, substantial and high shall meet respectively the following criteria:
| (a) | assurance level low shall refer to an electronic_identification means in the context of an electronic_identification scheme, which provides a limited degree of confidence in the claimed or asserted identity of a person, and is characterised with reference to technical specifications, standards and procedures related thereto, including technical controls, the purpose of which is to decrease the risk of misuse or alteration of the identity; |
| (b) | assurance level substantial shall refer to an electronic_identification means in the context of an electronic_identification scheme, which provides a substantial degree of confidence in the claimed or asserted identity of a person, and is characterised with reference to technical specifications, standards and procedures related thereto, including technical controls, the purpose of which is to decrease substantially the risk of misuse or alteration of the identity; |
| (c) | assurance level high shall refer to an electronic_identification means in the context of an electronic_identification scheme, which provides a higher degree of confidence in the claimed or asserted identity of a person than electronic_identification means with the assurance level substantial, and is characterised with reference to technical specifications, standards and procedures related thereto, including technical controls, the purpose of which is to prevent misuse or alteration of the identity. |
3. By 18 September 2015, taking into account relevant international standards and subject to paragraph 2, the Commission shall, by means of implementing acts, set out minimum technical specifications, standards and procedures with reference to which assurance levels low, substantial and high are specified for electronic_identification means for the purposes of paragraph 1.
Those minimum technical specifications, standards and procedures shall be set out by reference to the reliability and quality of the following elements:
| (a) | the procedure to prove and verify the identity of natural or legal persons applying for the issuance of electronic_identification means; |
| (b) | the procedure for the issuance of the requested electronic_identification means; |
| (c) | the authentication mechanism, through which the natural or legal person uses the electronic_identification means to confirm its identity to a relying_party; |
| (d) | the entity issuing the electronic_identification means; |
| (e) | any other body involved in the application for the issuance of the electronic_identification means; and |
| (f) | the technical and security specifications of the issued electronic_identification means. |
Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 48(2).
Article 18
Mutual assistance
1. Supervisory bodies shall cooperate with a view to exchanging good practice.
A supervisory body shall, upon receipt of a justified request from another supervisory body, provide that body with assistance so that the activities of supervisory bodies can be carried out in a consistent manner. Mutual assistance may cover, in particular, information requests and supervisory measures, such as requests to carry out inspections related to the conformity assessment reports as referred to in Articles 20 and 21.
2. A supervisory body to which a request for assistance is addressed may refuse that request on any of the following grounds:
| (a) | the supervisory body is not competent to provide the requested assistance; |
| (b) | the requested assistance is not proportionate to supervisory activities of the supervisory body carried out in accordance with Article 17; |
| (c) | providing the requested assistance would be incompatible with this Regulation. |
3. Where appropriate, Member States may authorise their respective supervisory bodies to carry out joint investigations in which staff from other Member States’ supervisory bodies is involved. The arrangements and procedures for such joint actions shall be agreed upon and established by the Member States concerned in accordance with their national law.
