Resource Label Group keeps you up-to-date
New labeling requirements can affect how brands design, produce, and manage product packaging, especially when regulations involve consumer protection, product security, and connected-device transparency. For companies selling internet-connected products, the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark program is one example of how labeling may play a larger role in helping consumers identify products that meet cybersecurity standards.
Resource Label Group helps brands stay aware of changing label and packaging requirements and translate those updates into practical labeling solutions. From compliance labels and security features to packaging updates tied to new industry rules, the right label partner can help your team respond with greater confidence.
How will new consumer protection law developments impact you?
A major announcement this year that will impact the label and packaging world is the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark Program. In July of 2023, the White House launched the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark program in conjunction with the FCC and participating electronics manufacturers and retailers including:
- Amazon
- Best Buy
- Cisco
- Qualcomm and Samsung
This national label system for consumer-connected devices to enhance transparency and boost security and privacy will take effect in late 2024, says The Hill. Bearing this label signifies that a product meets the U.S. government’s cybersecurity requirements.
The system will address the core cybersecurity problem — to help consumers be sure their consumer devices are secure from possible cyber intrusions. These labels will serve to identify trustworthy internet and Bluetooth-connected devices, such as:
- Baby monitors
- Home security cameras
- Smart appliances
- Locks
- TVs
- Microwaves
“As we’ve seen in other industries, labels like this can create powerful incentives for companies to improve the quality of their products,” says Marta L. Tellado, the President and CEO of Consumer Reports. “They would give consumers a better understanding of how well a device protects their data, so they can exercise their power in selecting better products.”
