EUDI conformance, certification and testing

Conformance testing checks behaviour against a defined protocol profile. Certification assesses specified requirements under a scheme. Neither proves that every end-to-end deployment is secure, private, usable or interoperable in every configuration.

For: assurance, security, procurement, architecture and audit teams. This is independent information, not legal, compliance or security advice.

Evidence types

Evidence	What it addresses
Protocol conformance	Expected positive and negative protocol behaviour
Security certification	Defined controls and product scope under a scheme
Interoperability test	Whether named implementations complete tested flows
Penetration/security test	Selected threats in a defined version and environment
Operational pilot	Real journey, integration and support evidence

Read the certificate

• Scheme, issuer and current status.
• Product, version, components and configuration.
• Assurance level, exclusions and dependencies.
• Issue, expiry, surveillance and change rules.
• Public report or registry entry supporting the claim.

Test the gaps

Even a conformant component needs trust configuration, secure deployment, session binding, privacy controls, accessible UX, incident handling and correct integration with the service decision. Test negative and fallback flows, not only a successful credential presentation.

Procurement wording

Require evidence covering the proposed production version before launch and a process for material changes. Avoid broad claims such as 'EUDI certified' unless the exact applicable certification scheme and product scope support them.

Evidence and limits

MyID separates enacted rules, official implementation material, testing and vendor claims. A source can establish what its publisher says; it does not prove that every product, deployment or interpretation works as claimed. Where Irish implementation remains unsettled, this page says so.
