Mandatory cybersecurity requirements in the UK

Mandatory cybersecurity requirements in the UK

On 29 April this year, the UK is implementing mandatory cyber security requirements for several connected products, like IoT products. These requirements are specified in the PSTI Act (Product Safety and Telecommunication Infrastructure Act), and during the webinar, we will look at the manufacturer's responsibilities and how these may be addressed. We will also look at the scope, both what is included and what is specifically excluded. 

Of course, we will also present the specific requirements.
 
 

UKCA 

After Brexit, the UK has also developed an alternative to the CE marking – the UKCA mark, which is also relevant for manufacturers of connected products. 

During the webinar, we will briefly introduce and update on the UKCA mark, both in general and some special updates for Radio Equipment, RoHS and Eco-design.
