Membership

A pathway through technical cooperation

Joining the EU Common Criteria Information Sharing and Analysis Centre (EUCC ISAC) allows organisations to actively contribute to the development, harmonisation and maintenance of the EU Common Criteria (EUCC) certification scheme.

Membership is obtained through participation in one or more technical groups. Each technical group manages its own application process in line with the EUCC ISAC Statutes.

Application process

From eligibility to membership

The precise process may vary slightly between technical groups, but it follows the same institutional framework.

01

Membership principle

The EUCC ISAC operates through dedicated technical groups and subgroups such as JHAS, ISCI, Embedded AI and JDES.

  • There is no standalone “general” application.
  • Organisations apply to the group or groups relevant to their expertise.
  • Acceptance to a technical group confers EUCC ISAC membership.

A separate application is required for each group.

02

Eligibility check

Applicants should ensure alignment with the EUCC ISAC Statutes and the Terms of Reference of the relevant group. The governing documents are available in the Compliance section.

Eligibility is assessed according to the organisation’s role, relevance to the EUCC ecosystem, expertise, capacity to contribute and commitment to information sharing.

NCCAs and CABs that are part of an NCCA are de facto members. Fees and formal assessment do not apply, but administrative information remains required.

03

Application review

  1. Eligibility review - Initial check against the group ToR and EUCC ISAC Statutes.
  2. Application submission - Completion of the group-specific form and supporting documents.
  3. Presentation - If requested, presentation of the organisation during a group plenary session.
  4. Technical group evaluation - Assessment of relevance, expertise and contribution potential.
  5. Steering Committee review - Formal review of the application.
  6. Trial membership - Where provided by the group ToR, a one-year trial period with full access.
  7. Membership agreement - Signature of the agreement and payment of the applicable fee.

04

Application dossier

The application form covers organisation information, industry profile and expertise, designated delegates, motivation, expected contribution, administrative and billing information and compliance declarations.

Supporting documents such as a sponsorship letter, brochure or presentation may be requested depending on the technical group.
