Session Abstract:
As the proliferation of connected devices continues to grow on a global basis and coupled with over 200 countries and territories with mandatory product certifications, companies may be missing a critical piece of the risk management puzzle. We contend most would agree the economics of an IoT business works best when a global footprint can be attained.
However, we continually observe companies are facing unknown product certification risks that are lurking just beneath the surface. To help companies anticipate potential certification risks for IoT devices we will present a risk management methodology especially designed for global market access. We will highlight real world examples of IoT production certification challenges, showcase the standard risk model, present methods and procedures to mitigate certification risks along with a set of checklists that you can start using today.
