CCLab has achieved a significant milestone by completing the CBTL audit and receiving authorization as a CB Testing Laboratory (CBTL) under the IECEE CB scheme. This accreditation, obtained on May 24, 2024, enhances CCLab's capabilities in cybersecurity testing and certification for consumer IoT devices and industrial control systems. CCLab, in partnership with QIMA Germany, is among the first to gain this recognition, allowing it to test and certify devices against the ETSI EN 303 645 standards for consumer IoT cybersecurity and the IEC 62443-4-1/4-2 standards for industrial automation and control systems. The IECEE CB scheme facilitates global acceptance of these certifications in over 50 countries, simplifying international market entry for compliant products. The ETSI EN 303 645 standard sets crucial cybersecurity requirements for IoT devices, while the IEC 62443 series enhances the security of industrial automation and control systems. This expansion positions CCLab as a leading cybersecurity evaluation and certification provider, ensuring products meet the latest global standards for protecting sensitive data and users.

The webinar features expert speakers and comprehensive insights into various aspects of EU cybersecurity certification. The recording can be watched at your convenience.
Why is it Important to Understand EUCC?
With the EUCC, the new European Common Criteria Certification Scheme, set to become effective by the end of February 2025, understanding its importance is more critical than ever. This certification framework will affect businesses within the EU and have global market implications. Therefore, gaining insights into EUCC is now essential for organizations aiming to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape.
We created an educational material package for Software Developers to maximize the efficiency of the preparation of their product's CC evaluation. The training package includes tutorial videos for each evaluation class, fully completed EAL4 developer documents for a TOE called VulnSite, and a complete set of developer document templates for all evaluation classes.
We are proud to share the exciting news that underscores our dedication to maintaining the highest security standards for POS/POI payment terminals. Our laboratory has been officially recognized and listed as a trusted testing facility on the Common.SECC certification body's portal.
Common.SECC is an international security certification scheme for payment terminals (also known as points of interaction (POI) or point of sales (POS) terminals). It is mandatory for all POS/POI device manufacturers targeting the German and the United Kingdom markets, meaning all products entering these markets must be Common.SECC certified.
Our goal is to safeguard card payment transactions and provide robust support to stakeholders in the financial sector, including banks, issuers, and acquirers. We are committed to transparency, independence, and integrity in our testing processes, ensuring that your products meet the highest security standards.
CClab is an ISO 17025 accredited Common Criteria laboratory and is an acknowledged testing facility under the Common.SECC certification body. This signifies that POS/POI terminals can be tested in our laboratory following rigorous security evaluations to meet stringent standards. This certification is crucial for manufacturers entering the Germany and/or the UK market, streamlining the assessment process and enhancing security measures.
To help you guide these updates and understand the benefits of Common.SECC certification for your products, we are pleased to offer you a free consultation. Our experts are ready to discuss how this certification can streamline your processes and enhance your product security.
