This blog article critically examines the global landscape of consumer product cybersecurity standards and the proposed role of the UK’s Cyber Resilience Testing (CRT) initiative. It maps key frameworks (PSTI Act, CRA, ETSI EN 303645, IEC 62443, FCC labelling, etc.) and identifies opportunities for CRT to provide ‘above and beyond’ assurance through resilience testing and threat simulation. While acknowledging the challenges of market saturation and standard overlap, it argues that CRT can add unique value — especially in underregulated sectors and poorly enforced product classes — by validating real-world security outcomes rather than static compliance.
