(TÜV SÜD: Wakefield, MA) -- TÜV SÜD announced that it has been selected as one of 10 cybersecurity label administrators (CLAs) for the voluntary IoT cybersecurity labeling program of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This program aims to increase security standards for wireless IoT consumer products and to provide consumers with clear guidance when choosing products by means of the new “U.S. Cyber Trust Mark.”

The voluntary labeling program launched by the FCC allows qualifying IoT products to display the cybersecurity label, provided they meet strict security standards. TÜV SÜD, as an authorized third-party provider, will support manufacturers by granting the label to products fulfilling the requirements (a test report from a cyberlab). This will provide more transparency in the market regarding products’ security features.
