Element Secures Conditional FCC Approval for U.S. Cyber Trust Mark Role

London, UK - 9 October: Element Materials Technology ("Element"), a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification services, has been conditionally approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to serve as a Cybersecurity Label Administrator (CLA) under the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark Program for consumer wireless Internet of Things (IoT) products.

Launched last year, the FCC's voluntary U.S. Cyber Trust Mark Program aims to give consumers clearer information about smart-device cybersecurity and encourage manufacturers to adopt robust security practices. It is designed to improve transparency and strengthen the security of connected devices sold in the United States. Approved Cybersecurity Label Administrators will help oversee applications and authorisations for manufacturers seeking to use the mark on qualifying products.

For manufacturers, working with an approved CLA can simplify the path to U.S. Cyber Trust Mark certification, helping them demonstrate product security and build consumer confidence.

Element' was named by the FCC's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau as one of two additional organisations conditionally approved to serve as a CLA. Once all programme requirements have been met, including execution of a Trademark Use Agreement and achievement of ISO/IEC 17065 accreditation within the FCC's programme scope, Element will be granted full approval status and authorised to process manufacturer applications and use of the FCC IoT Label and U.S. Cyber Trust Mark.

Approval as a CLA reflects Element's longstanding expertise in cybersecurity, product assurance, regulatory compliance, and certification services across connected technologies. Through its global network of laboratories and technical specialists, Element supports manufacturers in demonstrating compliance with evolving cybersecurity, safety, EMC, radio, and regulatory requirements for products entering international markets.

Richard White, General Manager & Global Director of GMA for Element, said:

"The U.S. Cyber Trust Mark Program is an important step towards helping people understand how secure their connected devices are. We're proud to have received conditional approval as a Cybersecurity Label Administrator and look forward to bringing our technical expertise to the programme, helping manufacturers demonstrate that their products meet its cybersecurity requirements and giving consumers more confidence in what they buy."

As cybersecurity requirements become a prerequisite for market access around the world, manufacturers face growing pressure to demonstrate product security alongside traditional safety, EMC, and radio compliance. Element's expanding cybersecurity capabilities enable customers to address these requirements through a single trusted partner, reducing project risk, avoiding duplicated effort, and accelerating product launch schedules.

Alexander Toohie, Technical Solution Manager for Element, added:

"Manufacturers want a simpler route to global markets, without having to coordinate multiple testing partners. We bring cybersecurity, radio, EMC, safety, certification and regulatory expertise together, helping customers reduce complexity, shorten project timelines and get their products to market faster."
