What is product cybersecurity testing and certification?
Product cybersecurity testing evaluates connected devices against security vulnerabilities to protect users' data, maintain privacy, and prevent weak links that malicious parties could exploit in interconnected systems. As the global regulatory demands placed on manufacturers —through regulations such as PSTI, Radio Equipment Directive (RED), and Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)-- increases, it’s crucial to complete the necessary testing and certification. At Element, an ISO 17025 accredited test lab, our Smart Technologies test engineers are well-equipped to assess your connected products against evolving industry cybersecurity standards such as EN 303 645, and EN 18031-X. We help you ensure compliance with RED, PSTI, and CRA, and offer advisory services including training and compliance strategies.
