Update time : 2024-10-28

Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act (PSTI), UK

The UK Government passed the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act 2022 (referred to as the "PSTI" Act), which will come into effect on April 29, 2024. This legislation mandates all companies involved in the consumer IoT supply chain to comply with minimum security requirements. These security standards are based on the UK’s Code of Practice for Consumer IoT Security / ETSI EN 303 645 standards, alongside guidelines from the National Cyber Security Centre, the UK's authority on cybersecurity threats. Manufacturers, importers, and distributors of related products must adhere to the PSTI Act’s security protocols, with non-compliance potentially resulting in fines of up to £10 million or 4% of global turnover.
