Acer has been working with SGS Brightsight Taiwan to conduct EN 303 645 IoT security testing on its Netcom products, which is expected to advance the application of Acer Wi-Fi 6E routers and ensure compliance with EU RED security regulations. 

In the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), the security of connected devices has become a major concern for regulatory authorities worldwide. Alongside notable regulations such as the California Senate Bill 327 and Singapore's Cybersecurity Labeling Scheme (CLS), the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) Delegated Act stands out as a significant framework for product security requirements. RED, the wireless equipment directive of the European Union, mandates that all wireless radio frequency products entering the EU market after 2024 must comply with the security requirements specified in RED Article 3.3 before they can be commercially distributed in the European market.


Acer, one of the world's top computer manufacturing brands, offers a wide range of products including personal computers, consumer electronics and various network devices. It has long been committed to protecting consumer rights and complying with international regulations through technological advancements. Acer has been working with SGS Brightsight Taiwan to conduct EN 303 645 IoT security testing on its Netcom products, which is expected to advance the application of Acer Wi-Fi 6E routers and ensure compliance with EU RED security regulations.

SGS Brightsight Taiwan has successfully completed several key projects in the field of IoT security and is committed to assisting Taiwan's high-tech supply chain in obtaining international security standard verification globally.
