Part 1: Product Security Chapter 1: Security requirements Section 5: Types of product that may be relevant connectable products
This Section defines the types of products that are relevant connectable products for the purposes of this legislation.
	Subsections (1) and (2) define "internet-connectable products" as being capable of connecting to the internet using a communication protocol that forms part of the Internet Protocol suite to send or receive data over the internet.
	Subsection (3) defines a "network-connectable product" as a product that is capable of sending and receiving data transmitted using electronic or electromagnetic energy; is not an internet connectable product; and meets the connectability conditions set out in subsections (4) or (5).
	Subsection (4) establishes the first connectability condition. Where a product is capable of connecting directly to an internet-connectable product by means of a communication protocol that forms part of the Internet Protocol suite, it is a "network-connectable product". To meet this condition, these products must be capable of using a communication protocol that forms part of the Internet Protocol suite, but is unable to connect directly to the internet.
	Subsection (5) establishes the second connectability condition. Where a product is capable of connecting directly to two or more products at the same time by a communication protocol that does not form part of the Internet Protocol suite; and is capable of connecting directly to an internet-connectable product by means of a such a communication protocol, it is a "network-connectable product".
	Subsection (6) establishes that a product which consists of wires or cables used merely to connect the relevant product to another product is not to be considered as a product for the purposes of the test established in subsection (5)(a).
	Subsection (8) confirms the involvement of a wire or cable does not stop a connection from occurring "directly" for the purposes of subsections (4) to (7).
