World's largest independent expert organization in the Testing, Inspection, and Certification sector collaborates with leading IoT solutions provider to meet RED cybersecurity requirements.

DEKRA, renowned as the world’s largest independent non-listed expert organization in the Testing, Inspection, and Certification sector, and Telit Cinterion, a premier global end-to-end IoT solutions enabler, proudly announce the successful completion of compliance tests for Telit Cinterion’s ME910G1 and ME310G1 LTE-M, and NB-IoT product families, at DEKRA Testing and Certification S.A.U. laboratories in Malaga, Spain.
“The cybersecurity requirements that will become mandatory in August 2025 under the RED directive represent a significant milestone in certifying connected devices within the EU. At DEKRA, we are pleased to test and certify Telit Cinterion products, ensuring compliance for the industry's and its consumers' benefit. We are proud to offer the highest level of service to Telit Cinterion.
