Compliance & Legal Validity
Accordia automates legal compliance for your digital processes, so you don’t have to assemble it yourself. The certifications it produces are issued under the European eIDAS Regulation and Spain’s Ley 1/2025.
What is eIDAS?
Section titled “What is eIDAS?”eIDAS (electronic IDentification, Authentication and trust Services) is European Union Regulation (EU) 910/2014 — a set of rules for electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions across the single market.
In practice, eIDAS is what makes an electronic signature, seal, or timestamp issued in one EU member state legally recognized in all of them. It also defines the levels of guarantee a signature can have, and what a provider must do to be considered qualified.
Ley 1/2025
Section titled “Ley 1/2025”Spanish Ley 1/2025 is the other half of the framework Accordia complies with. Together with eIDAS it governs how digital communications and appearances are conducted and evidenced.
Signature levels
Section titled “Signature levels”The Document Sign action supports the three eIDAS signature levels. Which ones are available to you depends on what your organization has enabled:
| Level | What it means |
|---|---|
| Simple | The basic electronic signature — for example, drawing a signature on the document. Lowest friction, lowest evidentiary weight. |
| Advanced | Uniquely linked to the signer, capable of identifying them, and created with means under their sole control. Any later change to the document is detectable. |
| Qualified | An advanced signature backed by a qualified certificate on a qualified signature creation device. Under eIDAS this carries the same legal effect as a handwritten signature across the EU. |
Higher levels give stronger evidence but ask more of the signer — a qualified signature requires a qualified certificate, a simple one doesn’t. Pick the level that matches the risk of the document.
Namirial as qualified trust service provider
Section titled “Namirial as qualified trust service provider”All of Accordia’s certifications are issued on Namirial’s trust infrastructure. Namirial is a Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP) — an entity formally supervised and audited under eIDAS, and therefore able to issue qualified signatures, seals, and timestamps that are recognized throughout the EU.
This is what guarantees the authenticity, integrity, and preservation of every signature, communication, and electronic appearance you run through Accordia. The evidence doesn’t depend on Accordia’s own say-so.
What this means in practice
Section titled “What this means in practice”- Evidence produced in Accordia is intended to stand on its own, outside the platform, including before a court.
- You don’t have to change how your organization works to be compliant — compliance is a property of the actions you run, not a separate process.
- Neither this page nor the platform is legal advice. If a specific case hangs on a particular level of guarantee, confirm the requirement with your legal team before choosing an action type or signature level.
How it fits together
Section titled “How it fits together”- Certified Evidence covers what each action actually produces.
- Action Types covers how each one is delivered.
