The introduction of regulatory measures in cybersecurity, such as the European Radio Equipment Directive (RED), is one of the most important challenges that manufacturers must address. This is particularly critical for IoT devices, which have become prime targets for cyberattacks, necessitating urgent countermeasures. On the other hand, many individuals are inexperienced in responding to cybersecurity, and there are numerous cases where understanding is lacking. The standard ETSI EN 303 645 provides a comprehensive baseline security framework, including some process requirements. Therefore, it is a standard that is easier for those unfamiliar with security measures to comply with. This training consists of approximately two hours of e-learning that allows individuals to utilize their spare time to learn about the various chapters (provisions) of ETSI EN 303 645, which covers most of the baseline requirements for IoT devices. By understanding this standard and implementing it in products, it can serve as the first step in preparing for upcoming cybersecurity regulatory compliance.

To manufacture and sell medical devices and in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVD devices), it is necessary to meet international regulations and standards. The required criteria vary by country, and TÜV SÜD Japan provides testing and certification services, as well as training services, to comply with these regulations. In particular, EMC testing is an essential requirement for electrical and electronic devices, evaluating whether they emit unnecessary electromagnetic waves that interfere with the operation of other devices (emission) and whether they have the ability to withstand other electromagnetic interference (immunity). TÜV SÜD is accredited as a notified body based on EU directives for EMC testing, and the TÜV SÜD Japan Yonezawa Testing Laboratory (located in Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture) is registered as an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory for domestic and international EMC standards.
