Electronic Signature compliance
The electronic signatures in Europe are regulated by the Regulation (EU) n. 910/2014 on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market ('eIDAS'). eIDAS is one of the most complete and accurate legislation worldwide on electronic signatures and provides with three types of electronic signatures: Qualified electronic signature (QES), Advanced electronic signature (AES) and Simple electronic signature (SES). InfoCert’s products and procedures are fully compliant in the EU Member States due to the directly-applicable and mandatory nature of the Regulation.
In Austria, the legal framework on electronic signatures is provided by the Federal Act on Electronic Signatures and Trust Services for Electronic Transactions (Bundesgesetz über elektronische Signaturen und Vertrauensdienste für elektronische Transaktionen - "SVG"), as amended. The Act supply that, among the electronic signatures prescribed by law, only the QES satisfies the legal requirement of written form as defined in Article 886 of the General Civil Code ("ABGB").
