Proposals regarding setting standards for smart appliances
The Smart Systems and Flexibility Plan, published July 2017, stated that BEIS would consult on setting standards for smart appliances, based on the principles of interoperability, data protection, grid- and cyber-security.
This consultation sets out our proposals regarding smart appliance policy.
The government considers that smart appliances need to be regulated in order to maximise the opportunities for consumers of demand-side response in homes and businesses, while ensuring any risks associated with smart appliances are managed effectively.
