The European Cybersecurity Certification Scheme (EUCC) has been developed and adopted within the EU under Regulation (EU) 2024/482. EUCC provides an EU and internationally recognised means of evaluating and certifying the security aspects of Information and Communication Technology products. The EUCC has been developed under the European cybersecurity certification framework set out in Regulation (EU) 2019/881, the EU Cybersecurity Act (CSA).

The referenced international standard for the scheme is the Common Criteria standard, ISO/IEC 15408 and associated Common Evaluation Methodology ISO/IEC 18045. The Dutch implementation prioritises an efficient certification process with predictable timescales whilst maintaining the highest standards.
