Business Wire
Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to
industries worldwide, announces that two of its Connected World
testing laboratories have been approved by CTIA, the voice of
America’s wireless industry, as authorized testing labs (CATL’s)
for the CTIA Cybersecurity Certification Test Plan for IoT Devices.
With this approval, Intertek facilities in Lexington, Kentucky and
Rockville, Maryland will be able to test and certify connected
devices to CTIA’s specifications for cybersecurity.
The CTIA IoT Cybersecurity Certification Program is designed to
help improve security for connected devices, protecting consumers
and data while creating a more secure foundation for the IoT. To
obtain cybersecurity certification, manufacturers and developers
must submit a certification request to CTIA and indicate their
chosen CATL, who will then test the product according to the CTIA
test plan. Intertek experts in Lexington and Rockville will utilize
state-of-the-art technology and years of experience to conduct
technical assessments, prepare the test reports, and final
submission to CTIA. Successful completion of all testing and
reporting criteria will result in CTIA IoT Cybersecurity
certification.
David Dennis, Vice President at Intertek said, “Intertek has
been providing Total Quality Assurance solutions to the Connected
World for years, and we are proud to help the industry bring
in-demand products to consumers as the IoT continues to grow. We
are so pleased to expand our partnership with CTIA and support
their IoT Cybersecurity Certification Program as we help
manufacturers and developers develop secure connected devices.”

a leader in cybersecurity, and with the recent addition of Acumen
and NTA, Intertek now has over 150 cyber security experts in 5
