Process & Planning

An IoT certification plan starts with choosing the assessment level that suits your product and your buyers. Prepare the application (F01), product series details (F02), Technical Construction File (F03) and assessor checklists (F04), and for CCTV products follow procedure P01. Submit to the IoTSCS cell, support the vulnerability assessment and configuration audit and close findings. STQC issues the certificate. Planning checklist: harden firmware, control update processes, document security features and check STQC's note on the camera procurement order before relying on the certificate for tenders.
