About this event
Smart locking devices offer improved flexibility and functionality aligned with the emerging digitally connected world, enhanced user experiences, and ultimately offer a wider array of control mechanisms for accessing your home. IoT technology can enable the homeowner to control how user access is achieved or granted to others in real time, and also to whom and when the homeowner wishes. In essence you can issue keys to, and collect keys from, anyone from anywhere, when it suits you.
It is important to note however, that any IoT connected product (including smart locking devices) is vulnerable to external threats and potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The increasing industry and homeowner awareness of threat potential can contribute to a lack of consumer trust in IoT connected devices and reduce business confidence in the return on investment of this technology. When combined with industry leading accredited certification of the mechanical locking device, digitally connected access and control has the potential to add not just functionality and convenience, but also further layers of security to your home.
In order to support your business journey into a digital world, and provide your clients with confidence in IoT connected devices, BSI has developed KitemarkTM certification for Smart Residential Locking Devices in a robust single testing and certification process, saving cost and time for certification of all types of locking device, mechatronic door furniture, and enhanced security cylinders for which mechanical performance standards exist either nationally or globally to suit our client’s needs.
Our KitemarkTM certification process currently combines TS 621 and/or TS007-2 (Mechanical Security) and IOT Kitemark Residential (based on EN 303 645 and OWASP IoT Top 10) in the same testing and certification process, so our clients can trust their Smart Lock products are safe, secure, trustworthy, and reliable.
If you are a smart lock manufacturer intending to market your products specially in the UK market, then this is definitively the webinar you should attend. You will learn with our experts about the KitemarkTM process and the value you can get with this BSI certification. We are looking forward your questions. Do not miss your spot!
