EETT Decision 295/63/10-10-2003 establishes the procedure for the designation of Bodies for the Conformity Assessment of certification service providers with the Voluntary Accreditation criteria.  Body designation criteria are listed in Annex I.

The procedure, in brief, is as follows:

• The entity requesting its designation as Voluntary Accreditation Body shall submit an application with EETT by means of which it shall request its designation, submitting to that end all required supporting documents listed in Annex I of the Regulation 295/63.
• Control Commission, which is designated by EETT, carries out control at its premises.
• Control Commission drafts an Evaluation Report for the applicant and submit it to ΕΕΤΤ which shall, by means of a justified decision, decides on the designation of the  applicant as Voluntary Accreditation Body

Information on Requirements for the designation procedure can be found here.

ΕΕΤΤ maintains a Registry of Voluntary Accreditation Bodies which have been designated as responsible for performing the Conformity Controls under the provisions of  Regulation. 295/63/10-10-2003.

The Registry includes the particulars of the Designated Body (name, distinctive title, seat, Tax Identification Number, legal representatives), the description of the scope and the date of its Designation. The same Registry includes all modifications to the Designation, as well as any suspension or revocation thereof.

ΕΕΤΤ supervises the Voluntary Accreditation Bodies in order to ensure the implementation of the relevant regulatory framework on electronic signatures by performing controls ex officio or following a complaint.

For the time being, no body has been designated as a Body responsible for the Conformity Assessment of Certification Service Providers with the Voluntary Accreditation Criteria.
