The government wants to change the law to make ‘smart’
products - like televisions, cameras and household
appliances which connect to the internet - safer and
more secure for people to use.
You can read the press
notice here.
This document describes the government’s proposed
approach and asks for your views. It details the scope
of the proposed legislation and the proposed new cyber
security requirements for consumer smart products. It
also describes what obligations could be placed upon
the manufacturers and retailers of these products, and
proposals for the enforcement of the requirements.
The Government is publishing a number of supporting
documents alongside the Call for Views, which can be
accessed in the list above.
These proposals are being shared to gather further
feedback and evidence to inform their development. The
government welcomes input from all interested parties,
including individual organisations impacted by the
proposed regulation, trade associations, consumer
groups and cyber security subject-matter experts.
This call for views is now closed. It ran from 16 July
2020 to 6 September 2020.
