Radio Equipment and Cyber Security: How Connected Technologies are Shaping the Compliance Journey

 

Dubai Duty Free Grandstand at Newbury Racecourse in Newbury

The Grandstand, Newbury Racecourse, Newbury, Berkshire, RG14 7NZ

22nd of May, 2024

 

Presentation

Title:  Radio Equipment and Cyber Security: How Connected Technologies are Shaping the Compliance Journey

 Abstract:  Alex Toohie’s presentation (40 minutes) covers the following:

• Overview of the differences between EMC for RED and EMC for EMCD, emphasizing how the inclusion of a radio in a product alters the required EMC assessment.

• Explanation of the new cyber security requirements introduced by RED, including their effective date, the scope of covered products, methods for manufacturers to demonstrate compliance, and the necessity and rationale for involving a notified body.

• Discussion of the UK-specific cyber security regulations outlined in the PSTI Act, highlighting their relationship with RED, the categories of products they encompass (which can be complex), and the additional administrative obligations placed on manufacturers.

• Presentation of an example declaration covering both RED and PSTI (where applicable) requirements, offering clarity on how manufacturers can address both sets of regulations.

• Provision of a straightforward decision tree for manufacturers to determine the relevant set of requirements for their specific products, streamlining the compliance process.

  

SPEAKER BIOGRAPHIES

 Alexander Toohie has a background is in physics, having studied for his Master’s at the University of Leicester, with a focus on remote sensing technologies for orbital missions, graduating in 2014 with First Class Honours.  Alex spent 8 years working within the Connected Technologies division of the testing laboratory Element, in both applications engineering and business development roles, planning the testing and certification paths for complex and varied radio equipment.  Two years ago Alex joined Texecom, an international leader in the design and manufacture of intruder and fire alarm systems, leading their compliance team and ensuring their products meet regulatory requirements under UKCA and CE marking schemes (including CPR, EMCD, RED, ATEXD, etc.), as well as additional regulatory and non-regulatory cyber security requirements.
