Who enforces it
Enforcement body
The accreditation authority (accreditatie-instantie) designated under the Act, which supervises certification service providers' compliance with the legal requirements.
What this law does
Article 33 requires a certification service provider that issues qualified electronic identification means to use trustworthy systems and products that are protected against modification. Article 39 lets the accreditation authority withdraw the provider's accreditation, end its activities or order corrective measures when the provider no longer meets the Article 33 requirements. Article 78 provides that the Act enters into force on the day after its promulgation in the Staatsblad.
