Part 1: Product Security Chapter 1: Security requirements Section 3: Power to deem compliance with security requirements
The security requirements set by the Secretary of State in regulations represent the minimum security requirements which must be complied with in relation to a product. Some relevant persons may exceed these requirements or meet equivalent requirements, for example by wholly satisfying an international standard such as ETSI EN 303 645. This Section allows the Secretary of State to specify conditions, including conditions relating to compliance with certain standard provisions, which, when met by the relevant person, will constitute that person’s deemed compliance with a security requirement. Subsection (3) sets out that this power will be subject to the affirmative resolution procedure.
