Electronic Signatures and Trust Infrastructures (ESI); Certificate Profiles; Part 2: Certificate profile for certificates issued to natural persons
Scope: The present document specifies requirements on the content of certificates issued to natural persons. This profile builds on IETF RFC 5280 for generic profiling of Recommendation ITU-T X.509 | ISO/IEC 9594-8.
This profile supports the requirements of EU Qualified Certificates as specified in the Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 as well as other forms of certificate. The scope of the present document is primary limited to facilitate interoperable processing and display of certificate information. This profile therefore excludes support for some certificate information content options, which can be perfectly valid in a local context but which are not regarded as relevant or suitable for use in widely deployed applications.
The present document focuses on requirements on certificate content. Requirements on decoding and processing rules are limited to aspects required to process certificate content defined in the present document. Further processing requirements are only specified for cases where it adds information that is necessary for the sake of interoperability.
Certain applications or protocols impose specific requirements on certificate content. The present document is based on the assumption that these requirements are adequately defined by the respective application or protocol. It is therefore outside the scope of the present document to specify such application or protocol specific certificate content.

Communication networks and systems for power utility automation - Part 90-19: Use of Role Based Access Control (RBAC) with IEC 61850
Scope: IEC PAS 61850-90-19:2026 document takes over the IEC 61850 data model specific definitions such as the definition of permissions and their assignment to roles from IEC 62351-8.
The general requirements for Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) are defined in IEC 62351-8. This part of IEC 61850, which is a Publicly Available Specification, applies those requirements to the IEC 61850 environment, including the RBAC modelling considerations, the impacts on IEC 61850 models and protocols, and the resulting engineering process requirements.
Additionally, the binding of permissions to objects is defined to allow an interoperable implementation regarding the semantic of roles. This is achieved by an assignment to unique data objects based on the SCL description. Note that for this, IEC 61850-6:2009+AMD1:2018+AMD2:2024 is a prerequisite as it defined a unique identification of objects in SCL.

Electronic Signatures and Trust Infrastructures (ESI); PAdES digital signatures; Part 1: Building blocks and PAdES baseline signatures
Scope: The present document specifies PAdES digital signatures. PAdES signatures build on PDF signature mechanisms defined in the ISO 32000 series. For documents conforming to ISO 32000-1 PAdES utilizes an extended, alternative signature encoding. For documents conforming to ISO 32000-2, these signature structures are incorporated natively by default within the core standard. Both approaches support digital signature formats equivalent to the signature format CAdES as specified in ETSI EN 319 122-1, by incorporation of signed and unsigned attributes, which fulfil certain common requirements (such as the long term validity of digital signatures) in a number of use cases.
The present document specifies formats for PAdES baseline signatures, which provide the basic features necessary for a wide range of business and governmental use cases for electronic procedures and communications to be applicable to a wide range of communities when there is a clear need for interoperability of digital signatures used in electronic documents.
The present document defines four levels of PAdES baseline signatures addressing incremental requirements to maintain the validity of the signatures over the long term, in a way that a certain level always addresses all the requirements addressed at levels that are below it. Each level requires the presence of certain PAdES attributes, suitably profiled for reducing the optionality as much as possible.
Procedures for creation, augmentation, and validation of PAdES digital signatures are out of scope and specified in ETSI EN 319 102-1. Guidance on creation, augmentation and validation of PAdES digital signatures including the usage of the different attributes defined in the present document is provided in ETSI TR 119 100. The present document aims at supporting electronic signatures in different regulatory frameworks.
NOTE: Specifically but not exclusively, PAdES digital signatures specified in the present document aim at supporting electronic signatures, advanced electronic signatures, qualified electronic signatures, electronic seals, advanced electronic seals, and qualified electronic seals as per Regulation (EU) No 910/2014.

Satellite Earth Stations and Systems (SES); Aircraft Earth Stations (AESs) operating in the 11/12/14 GHz frequency bands; Harmonised Standard for access to radio spectrum
Scope: The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for Aircraft Earth Station (AES) with both transmit and receive capabilities for provision of aeronautical mobile satellite service, in the frequency bands given in Table 1.
Table 1: Frequency bands for the AES equipment specified in the present document
Mode of Operation; Frequency Band
AES transmit; 14,00 GHz to 14,50 GHz
AES transmit; 12,75 GHz to 13,25 GHz
AES receive; 10,70 GHz to 12,75 GHz
The AES has the following characteristics:
• These AESs are equipment for installation on aircraft.
• The AESs transmit in the 14,00 GHz to 14,50 GHz band, receive within the range from 10,70 GHz to 12,75 GHz , referred to as "14 GHz AES" in the present document, are operating in one or more frequency ranges of the Fixed-Satellite Service and Aeronautical Mobile-Satellite Service.

NOTE 1: When the term "AES" used in the present document without stating 13 GHz AES or 14 GHz AES, it is a reference to both 14 GHz AES and 13 GHz AES. When referring to AES in the 13 GHz band, the AES acronym in this case is taken as equivalent to Earth Station In Motion, as referred to in the Radio Regulations (RR) No. 5.496A (ESIM).
• The AES can consist of a number of modules from the antenna subsystem to the user interfaces.
• The AES uses linear polarization.
• The AES system uses digital modulation.
• The 14 GHz AES operates through a GSO satellite at least 3° away from any other geostationary satellite operating in the same frequency band and covering the same area.
• The 13 GHz AES operates with a GSO satellite network whose frequency assignments are from the List of Appendix 30B of the Radio Regulations.
• The antenna of the AES is directional, with means of tracking the satellites, which can be achieved by using either an active phase array or reflective type configuration consistent with the AES to be brought to the market.
• These AESs are operating as part of a satellite network used for the distribution and/or exchange of information between users.
• These AESs are controlled and monitored by a Network Control Facility (NCF). The NCF is outside the scope of the present document.
• When on the ground, the 14 GHz AES does not transmit at elevation angles below 7° with respect to the local horizontal plane, except at locations where transmissions below 7° are permitted by the local Administration; (the minimum elevation angle is also limited as per clause 4.2).
The technical requirements in the present document are in two major categories:
• emission limits: to protect other radio services and systems from harmful interference generated by the AES in normal use;
• AES Control and Monitoring Functions (CMFs): to protect other radio services and systems from unwanted transmissions from the AES. The CMF in each AES is capable of answering to commands from the Network Control Facility (NCF) for its supporting satellite network.
The present document applies to the AESs with their ancillary equipment and its various ports, and when operated within the boundary limits of the operational environmental profile defined for its intended AES use as to be brought to the market.
The technical requirements for the 14 GHz AES in regard to the Power Flux Density (PFD) limits to protect Fixed Service (FS) and Radio Astronomy Service (RAS) are based on annexes B and C of Recommendation ITU-R M.1643 and ECC Report 26. Furthermore, in relation to the protection of the Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) the technical requirements of the AES take into account annex A of Recommendation ITU-R M.1643.
The technical requirements for the 13 GHz AES in regards to the PFD limits on earth for the protection of FS are based on the ECC Decision (19)04.
NOTE 2: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU is given in annex A.
The present document does not cover equipment compliance with relevant civil aviation regulations. In this respect, an AES, for its installation and operation on board an aircraft is subject to additional national or international civil aviation airworthiness certification requirements.
