In December 2022, the UK government formally passed the "Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act 2022" (PSTI) and it will be enforced from April 29, 2024. The new regulation marks a new era for cybersecurity in the UK, as it mandates the creation of new minimum security requirements that manufacturers, importers, and distributors of consumer connectable products (also called Internet of Things or IoT devices) must comply with.
The bill received Royal Assent on 6 December 2022. It entered into force in April 2023 with a 12-month transition period, and became mandatory from 29th April 2024, and manufacturers are obliged to comply with the security requirements described therein or face potential penalties.
The bill consist of three main parts:
Part 1 of the PSTI Regulation requires manufacturers, distributors, and importers to ensure that products placed on the UK market comply with minimum security requirements aimed at protecting the UK consumer.
It applies to England and Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
Products that can be connected to a network or internet are under the scope of this regulation. These are the Internet of Things devices, that include, but are not limited to:

Does the Statement of Compliance (SoC) have to be a piece of paper that comes in the box with the product? What does “attached” mean? Does the Statement of Compliance (SoC) have to be a piece of paper that comes in the box with the product? What does “attached” mean?
No. It is up to each organization to decide how to comply with the Act based on the requirements of their own products. The Act require that the SoC must be a document, but they do not specify that this document must be paper-based; it can also be in digital form. However, manufacturers must ensure that this document is provided with the product, in whatever form, to ensure that users can access it when they receive the product.
Should Bluetooth be considered as meeting the second connectivity condition?
Section 5 defines the connectivity condition as follows:
‘(5) A product meets the second connectivity condition if –
Accordingly, a Bluetooth product meets the second connectivity condition if it is capable of connecting to two or more products and is also capable of connecting directly to an Internet-connectable product.
If I only sell connected products for business/professional use, are they exempt from the Act?
If the manufacturer knew or should have known that the product would be used as a UK consumer connected product, then the product falls within the scope of the requirements. This means that whether or not the product is marketed to ‘professionals or merchants’, if the manufacturer knew or should have known that consumers would use the product, then the product needs to comply with the Act. For a manufacturer to be exempt from the Act, they must ensure that the product will not be used by consumers. They must ensure that the product will not be used by consumers, that there is no equivalent product on the market for consumers, and that the product has not been offered to consumers before.
Since retailers as part of the supply chain will be affected by the UK’s PSTI Act, do online consumer retail platforms like eBay, Amazon, Taobao, etc., need to comply with the UK PSIT Act in the following scenarios?
All relevant parties must comply with the Product Safety and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act of 2022.
