Amendments to the Legal Inspection Requirements for Digital Still Image Video Cameras and Digital Cameras and 4 Other IT Products
The final text takes into account comments received from industry. The range of applicable inspection standards for cybersecurity requirements has been expanded to include the CNS 15408 series and the CNS 62443 series, providing businesses with greater flexibility in selecting the applicable standard, and the implementation date has been postponed from 1 January 2028 to 1 July 2028. Covert cameras have been separately listed as Item 3 and those without storage functionality will be subject to mandatory inspection from 2 October 2026.
To align with the international trend of mandating cybersecurity testing for information technology products, and in response to the increasing number of cybersecurity incidents involving IoT products being hacked both domestically and internationally in recent years, the BSMI plans to introduce additional cybersecurity testing requirements for network-connected security devices, as well as information and audiovisual IoT products. This initiative aims to enhance the cybersecurity resilience of critical IoT products in the domestic market, ensure product security, and safeguard consumer rights.
