Singapore: Singapore and United Kingdom signed Memorandum of Understanding on mutual recognition of consumer Internet-of-Things cybersecurity regimes

On 22 October 2025, Singapore’s Cyber Security Agency (CSA) and the United Kingdom’s Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on mutual recognition of consumer Internet-of-Things (IoT) cybersecurity regimes. The MoU applies to manufacturers of smart consumer devices, including home assistants, automation systems, and IoT hubs. It allows products certified under Singapore’s Cybersecurity Labelling Scheme for IoT (CLS(IoT)) to be recognised as compliant with the UK’s Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) Act, and vice versa, through a simplified application process. The MoU aims to reduce duplicated testing, lower compliance costs, and improve market access, and will take effect on 1 January 2026.
