III.3 DEVELOPMENT OF CERTIFICATION, TESTING AND STANDARDISATION METHODOLOGIES
ICT processes that are established on the
national territory, and which carry out conformity self-assessments.
• The Luxembourg Institute for Standardisation, Accreditation, Safety and Quality
of Products and Services (ILNAS) has been
appointed as the National Cybersecurity
Certification 1
Authority
(NCCA)
in
Luxembourg within the framework of
Regulation (EU) 2019/881 on Cybersecurity
(“Cybersecurity Act – CSA”). In this context,
the ILNAS will be in charge of supervision
and will ensure that the rules relating to
cybersecurity certification schemes, for the
purpose of monitoring that ICT products,
ICT services and ICT processes comply with
the requirements of the European cybersecurity certificates issued on the national
territory. Where appropriate, the ILNAS will
also be responsible for monitoring compliance with the obligations of manufacturers
or suppliers of ICT products, ICT services or
• Depending on the identified national needs, the government may decide to
appoint another national cybersecurity
certification authority to carry out the
certification tasks and/or tasks directly
related to this.
• The ILNAS takes part in various meetings of the European Cybersecurity
Certification Group established in 2018
by the EU Cybersecurity Act to take into
account any information relevant to its
supervisory tasks.
Levels of insurance
A European cybersecurity certification scheme may specify one or more of the following levels
of insurance for ICT products, ICT services and ICT processes: “basic”, “substantial” or “high”. The
level of insurance corresponds to the level of risk associated with the intended use of the ICT
product, ICT service or ICT process, in terms of the likelihood and impact of an incident.

Self-assessment
A European cybersecurity certification scheme can allow conformity self-assessments to be
carried out under the sole responsibility of the manufacturer or supplier of ICT products, ICT
services or ICT processes. Conformity self-assessments are only permitted for ICT products, ICT
services and ICT processes that present a low risk, a scheme corresponding to the so-called
“basic” level of insurance. The manufacturer or supplier of ICT products, ICT services or ICT processes shall keep at the disposal of ILNAS the European Union declaration of conformity, the
technical documentation and all other relevant information relating to the conformity of the
ICT products or ICT services with the European certification scheme concerned for the period
specified in the scheme.
Certification
For basic or substantial levels of assurance, certification is carried out by a conformity assessment body (CAB), unless a scheme provides that only a public body may issue certificates in
duly justified cases (Art. 56.5). CASES, the department of SECURITYMADEIN.LU, the mission of
which is to secure SMEs, will serve as the CAB for the elementary level.
