Digital signature certificate suspension permits subscriber-requested or public-interest action, subject to hearing safeguards and mandatory communication.

Suspension of a Digital Signature Certificate may be undertaken upon a request from the listed subscriber or a person duly authorised to act for that subscriber, or where suspension is considered necessary in the public interest. Suspension may not continue beyond fifteen days unless the subscriber has been afforded an opportunity to be heard. Once suspension is effected, it must be communicated to the subscriber.
