A. Certification
1. Preliminary Remarks
The Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/482 of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 31 January 2024 [IR] establishes a Union-wide cybersecurity certification
scheme for ICT products and Protection Profiles for conformity assessments using the
requirements of Common Criteria.
By implementing the Cybersecurity Act [CSA], certification activities at assurance level
‘high’ and in duly justified cases at assurance level ‘substantial’ are reserved to the
National Cybersecurity Certification Agency of a Member State.
In accordance to BSIG Act [BSIG], the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) issues
certificates for information technology products as well as for Protection Profiles (PP).
A PP defines an implementation-independent set of IT security requirements for a category
of products which are intended to meet common consumer needs for IT security. A PP
claimed by a user, consumer or stakeholder for IT gives them the possibility to express
their IT security needs without referring to a specific product. Product certifications can be
based on Protection Profiles. For products which have been certified based on a
Protection Profile an individual certificate will be issued but the results from a PP
certification can be re-used for the Security Target evaluation within a product evaluation
when conformance to the PP has been claimed.
Certification of the Protection Profile is carried out on the instigation of the BSI or a
sponsor. A part of the procedure is the technical examination (evaluation) of the product
according to the security criteria referenced in the above mentioned Implementing
Regulation (EU) 2024/482 as well as relevant application notes and interpretations
published by the certification body of the BSI. Evaluation facilities notified by the German
National Cybersecurity Certification Authority carry out the evaluation.
This Certification Report is the result of the certification activities carried out by the
certification body of the BSI in conclusion of the technical evaluation. This report contains
among others the certificate (summarised assessment) and the detailed Certification
Results.
The certification is not an endorsement of the Protection Profile by the Federal Office for
Information Security or any other organisation that recognises or gives effect to this
certificate, and no warranty of the Protection Profile by the Federal Office for Information
Security or any other organisation that recognises or gives effect to this certificate, is either
expressed or implied.
2. Specifications of the Certification Procedure
The certification body carries out its activities according to the criteria laid down in the
following:
● Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/482 of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 31 January 2024 laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) 2019/881 of
the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the adoption of the European
Common Criteria-based cybersecurity certification scheme (EUCC) [IR]

3. Mutual Recognition
3.1. EU Cybersecurity Certification Scheme on Common Criteria (EUCC)
Certificates issued under EUCC are recognised according to Implementing Regulation
(EU) 2024/482 [IR]. Details of EUCC can be found at
https://certification.enisa.europa.eu/certification-library/eucc-certification-scheme_en.
3.2. International Recognition of CC – Certificates (CCRA)
In order to avoid multiple certification of the same Protection Profile in different countries a
mutual recognition of IT security certificates - as far as such certificates are based on CC -
under certain conditions was agreed. Therefore, the results of this evaluation and
certification procedure can be re-used by the product certificate issuing scheme in the
evaluation of a Security Target within a subsequent product evaluation and certification
procedure.
The international Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA) became effective in
September 2014 in its current version. It defines the recognition of certificates for IT-
products based on collaborative Protection Profiles (cPP) (exact use), CC certificates
based on assurance components up to and including EAL 2 or the assurance family Flaw
Remediation (ALC_FLR) and CC certificates for Protection Profiles and for collaborative
Protection Profiles (cPP).
The Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement logo printed on the certificate indicates
that this certification is recognised under the terms of this agreement by the related bodies
of the signatory nations. A disclaimer beneath the logo indicates the specific scope of
recognition.
Details on recognition, the signatory nations and the agreement itself can be found at
https://www.commoncriteriaportal.org.

In case of changes to the certified version of the Protection Profile, the validity can be
extended to new versions and releases, provided the sponsor applies for assurance
continuity (i.e. re-certification or maintenance) of the modified Protection Profile, in
accordance with the procedural requirements, and the evaluation does not reveal any
security deficiencies.
For the meaning of the CC concepts and terms please refer to CC [CC] Part 1 through 5.
The validity of this certificate ends as outlined on the certificate. The applicant and the
sponsor of this certificate are recommended to review the technical content of the
Protection Profile certified according to the evolvement of the technology and of the
intended operational environment of the type of product concerned as well as according to
the evolvement of the evaluation criteria. Such review should result in an update and a re-
certification of the Protection Profile accordingly. Typically, technical standards are
reviewed on a five years basis.
The limitation of validity of this PP certificate does not necessarily impact the validity
period of a product certificate referring to this Protection Profile, but the certification body
issuing a product certificate based on this Protection Profile should take it into its
consideration on validity.

EUCC-3087-2026-0006 Certification Report
1. Protection Profile Overview
The Protection Profile Common Criteria Protection Profile Security Module Application for
Electronic Record-keeping Systems (SMAERS) Version 3.0.2 [PP] is established by
Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik as a basis for the development of
Security Targets in order to perform a certification of an IT-product, the Target of Evaluation
(TOE).
The TOE type is a security module application implemented as software. The security
module is part of a certified technical security system (CTSS) for electronic record-keeping
systems (ERS).
The TOE application is either running on the platform of a CSP (referred to as platform-
architecture), or running on a separate device communicating with the CSP via a trusted
channel (referred to as client-server architecture). Depending on the overall architecture,
different security requirements exist for a CSP.
The assets to be protected by a TOE claiming conformance to this PP are defined in [PP],
chapter 3.1. Based on these assets the security problem definition is defined in terms of
assumptions, threats and organisational security policies. This is outlined in [PP], chapter
3.
These assumptions, threats and organisational security policies are split into security
objectives to be fulfilled by a TOE claiming conformance to this PP and security objectives
to be fulfilled by the operational environment of a TOE claiming conformance to this PP.
These objectives are outlined in [PP], chapter 4.
The Protection Profile [PP] requires a Security Target based on this PP or another PP
claiming this PP to fulfil the CC requirements for strict conformance.
To support proper and consistent usage of the PP, it is supplemented by the TR and
Supporting Documents [TR] [SD]. For the proper usage of the CSP in support of the PP
[PP] refer to the Supporting Documents [PP CSP].
2. Security Functional Requirements
Based on the security objectives to be fulfilled by a TOE claiming conformance to this PP
the security policy is expressed by the set of security functional requirements (SFR) to be
implemented by a TOE. It covers the following issues: • Cryptographic Support, • User
Data Protection• User Identification and Authentication,• Security Management,• Protection
of the TSF,• Trusted Path/Channels (applied by Package Trusted Channel between TOE
and CSP only)• Security Audit,• Update Code Package – Upgrade Functionality
These TOE security functional requirements are outlined in the PP [5], chapter 5.1. They
are selected from Common Criteria Part 2. Thus the SFR claim is called:
Common Criteria Part 2 conformant
3. Assurance Requirements
The TOE security assurance package claimed in the PP is based entirely on the
assurance components defined in part 3 of the Common Criteria. Thus, this assurance
package is called:
9 / 15
Certification Report EUCC-3087-2026-0006
Common Criteria Part 3 conformant
EAL 2 augmented by
ALC_LCD.1, ALC_FLR.1 and ALC_CMS.3
(for the definition and scope of assurance packages according to CC see [CC], part 3 for
details).
4. Results of the PP-Evaluation
As a result of the evaluation the verdict PASS is confirmed for the assurance components
of the class APE (Protection Profile evaluation).
The following assurance components were used:
APE_INT.1 PP introduction
APE_CCL.1 Conformance claims
APE_SPD.1 Security problem definition
APE_OBJ.2 Security objectives
APE_ECD.1 Extended components definition
APE_REQ.2 Derived security requirements
As the evaluation work performed for this certification procedure was carried out as a re-
evaluation based on the certificate BSI-CC-PP-0105-V3-2025, re-use of specific evaluation
tasks was possible. The focus of this re-evaluation was on changing to EUCC.
The results of the evaluation are only applicable to the Protection Profile as defined in
chapter 1.
5. Obligations and notes for the usage
The following aspects need to be fulfilled when using the Protection Profile:
The PP [PP] defines several Application Notes that shall be considered when creating a
security target and implementing a TOE that claims conformance to the PP [PP].
Also, as the PP [PP] was created to offer great flexibility with respect to different
architectural designs, individual solutions of a SMAERS and CSP shall consider Chapter
1.2 (Non-TOE Hardware/Software/Firmware available to the TOE). A TOE that is based on
this PP [PP] can only be run together with a CC certified CSP component.
Additionally, individual Evaluation Activities (EA) associated with the augmentations
ALC_LCD.1 and ALC_CMS.3 shall be performed as specified in the Assurance
Refinements in Chapter 5.2.1 of the PP [PP]. Further, additional Evaluation Activities
associated with the life cycle of the security module of the TSS shall be performed
according to the Supporting Document for Protection Profile SMAERS [SD]. Please note
that the Supporting Document for Protection Profile SMAERS [SD] is not in the scope of
this certification.
Also to support proper and consistent usage of the PP, it is supplemented by the TR and
Supporting Documents [TR], [SD]. For the proper usage of the CSP in support of the PP
[PP] refer to the Supporting Documents [PP CSP].
The certification results apply only to the version of the PP indicated in the certificate and
on the condition that all the statements and indications are kept as detailed in this
Certification Report. Neither the BSI nor any other organisation that recognises or gives
effect to this certificate implicitly or explicitly guarantee or endorse the certified PP.
