SOG-IS Technical Domains

The SOG-IS Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) covers the following domains (link to SOGIS technical domain document):

Smartcards and Similar Devices - This IT-Technical Domain is related to smart cards and similar devices where significant portions of the required security functionality depend upon hardware features at a chip level (for example smart card hardware/ICs, smart card composite products, TPMs used in Trusted Computing, digital tachograph cards, etc.)

Hardware Devices with Security Boxes - This IT-Technical Domain is related to products produced from a series of discrete parts on one or more printed circuit boards whereby significant proportions of the required security functionality depend upon a hardware physical envelope with counter-measures (a so-called "Security Box") against direct physical attacks (for example payment terminals, tachograph vehicle units, smart meters, taxi meters, access control terminals, Hardware Security Modules, etc.)
In cases where the physical protection ("security box") requirements defined in a PP developed by a standards body recognised by the EU differ from those generally applying in the domain (whether greater or smaller), the PP requirements and associated methodology shall take precedence.
