The present document provides an overview of the Recommendation ITU-T X.509 | ISO/IEC 9594-8 [i.3] based 
certificate profiles and the statements for EU Qualified Certificates specified in other parts of ETSI EN 319 412 ([i.4] to 
[i.7]). It specifies common data structures that are referenced from other parts of ETSI EN 319 412 ([i.4] to [i.7]). 
The profiles specified in this multi-part deliverable aim to support both Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.9] and the use 
of certificates in a wider international context. Within the European context, it aims to support both EU Qualified 
Certificates and other forms of certificate

The present document defines specific QCStatement for the qcStatements extension as defined in IETF RFC 3739 [2], 
clause 3.2.6, including requirements for their use in EU qualified certificates. Some of these QCStatements can be used 
for other forms of certificate. 
The QCStatements defined in the present document can be used in combination with any certificate profile, either 
defined in ETSI EN 319 412-2 [i.2], ETSI EN 319 412-3 [i.5] and ETSI EN 319 412-4 [i.6], or defined elsewhere. 
The QCStatements defined in clause 4.3 can be applied to regulatory environments outside the EU. Other requirements 
specified in clause 4 are specific to Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.8] but may be adapted for other regulatory 
environments.
