Introducing EN 303 645
• Establishes a common baseline across the European and wider global market, raising
the security bar for all consumer IoT devices from near-zero to a good level.
• Every major, at scale, attack involving consumer IoT seen to date is covered.
• E.g. Mirai, and more recent botnets
• Comprehensively covers security and privacy best practice

• Pragmatic approach that is accessible to SMEs
• Contains outcome-focused provisions: to future-proof, create the necessary flexibility
and cover all consumer IoT

EN 303 645 in support of the Cybersecurity Act
• EU Council Conclusions on the cybersecurity of connected devices (2 December 2020):

• "Notes the ETSI EN 303 645 cybersecurity standard for consumer IoT devices as an
important step in [developing standards to support the CSA].“
• EN 303 645 and TS 103 701 are well placed to provide the foundation for “basic”-level
consumer IoT assurance.
• Broad, multi-stakeholder consensus
• Pragmatic and accessible approach that achieves good security outcomes
• Supported by evolving consumer IoT document set in ETSI TC CYBER

EN 303 645 in support of market access legislation
• Radio Equipment Directive

• EN 303 645 is not suitable to become a Harmonised Standard (HEN) under the RED.
However, it can inform the development of such HEN, once commissioned.
• Proposed UK legislation on connected product security
• Forthcoming requirements align with EN 303 645, covering default passwords,
vulnerability disclosure and transparency on security update support periods.
