scope:
The present document specifies a standard for a Trust-service Status List (TSL) which makes available trust service status information such that interested parties may determine whether a trust service is or was operating under the approval of any recognized scheme at either the time the service was provided, or the time at which a transaction reliant on that service took place.
The normative specification defines the structure and meaning of a TSL which fulfils these requirements and specifies the mechanisms to be used for locating, accessing and authenticating TSLs. In addition, this document gives informative guidance for the management of and access to TSLs and the use of status information held within them. Within the present document the key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [5].
The present document is applicable to assessment scheme operators responsible for the approval of trust services and to those who wish to rely on such information.
