Evaluation of software and cybersecurity in household appliances

RISE offers evaluation of household appliances according to the IEC 60335-1 standard with Annex R (software evaluation of programmable electronic circuits) and Annex U (appliances intended for remote communication through public networks) as specialties.

Purpose

All companies selling products on the European market must be able to demonstrate that the products comply with the applicable EU directives. As an importer or manufacturer of household and commercial products, you must be able to demonstrate that the product meets the EU requirements of the LVD and the Machinery Directive. Home and household products that comply with standard EN 60335-1 or applicable product standard (part 2) are presumed to meet the requirements of the directives.

Annex R of the standard concerns programmable electrical circuits and that its software detects any safety-critical faults and that they are dealt with in the best possible way or at best avoided altogether. Both for safety-related data and safety-related segments of software.

Annex U of the standard concerns measures that can be taken to prevent unauthorized access and the effects of transmission errors when using remote communication through public networks.

Through our deep knowledge of the standard and with these two parts in particular consideration, we are convinced that we can help the customer to bring a product to the market that is secure both from a functional and cybersecurity perspective.

Method

The evaluation is based on methods accredited by Swedac for the standards:

IEC 60335-1 Annex R and U

The test against the standard is advantageously complemented by a penetration test that RISE can offer as a separate service. Here you find our offer in penetration testing.
