Description: Japan has published a final policy for a voluntary scheme for IoT products with multiple conformity assessment levels.

Products in scope are those that have the ability to send and receive data using Internet Protocol (IP), including products that are indirectly connected to the internet (excluding general-purpose IT products to which users can easily alter security measures such as via software products (PCs, tablets, smartphones, etc.)).

The scheme is scheduled to start in part by March 31, 2025.
