Description: In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC) establishes a voluntary cybersecurity labeling program for wireless consumer Internet of Things, or IoT, products. The program will provide consumers with an easy-to-understand and quickly recognizable FCC IoT Label that includes the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark and a QR code linked to a dynamic, decentralized, publicly available registry of more detailed cybersecurity information. This program will help consumers make safer purchasing decisions, raise consumer confidence regarding the cybersecurity of the IoT products they buy, and encourage manufacturers to develop IoT products with security-by- design principles in mind.

Effective date: This rule is effective 29 August 2024.

Incorporation by reference: The incorporation by reference of certain material listed in the rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of 29 August 2024.

Compliance date: Compliance with 47 CFR 8.208, 8.209, 8.212, 8.214, 8.215, 8.217, 8.218, 8.219, 8.220, 8.221, and 8.222 (eCFR: 47 CFR Part 8 -- Safeguarding and Securing the Open Internet) will not be required until the Office of Management and Budget has completed review under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The Commission will publish a document in the Federal Register announcing that compliance date.
