Swiss METAS Data Security for Smart Metering

Accurate data collection and secure data transfer are a must for the smart meter market. Smart metering solutions need to be METAS certified (METAS Zertifizierung) in Switzerland since 2019.
According to the Electricity Supply Ordinance (Stromversorgungsverordnung), Switzerland has taken a big step forward by standardizing the requirements for Smart Metering Environments. The Swiss Certification Body, METAS issues certificates for smart metering system components based on independent third party evaluations done by CCLab.

Our experts will guide you through the smart metering certification by:

  • Readiness assessment
  • Pre-evaluation
  • Official METAS DS evaluation for certification

RED - Cybersecurity for Smart Metering

RED - Cybersecurity for Smart Metering

Wireless technology has a significant impact on the automotive supply chain. As levels of connectivity increase, and we find ever-more complex technologies in smart metering, the compliance process becomes increasingly intricate and unpredictable.

Economic operators associated with the energy industry have the EU’s Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU (RED) to deal with, and must ensure that they have implemented their responsibilities accordingly. In 2021 the Commission has taken action to improve the cybersecurity of wireless devices available on the European market. This act lays down new legal requirements for cybersecurity safeguards, which manufacturers will have to take into account in the design and production of the concerned products.

The new cybersecurity measures will help to:

  • Improve network resilience
  • Better protect consumers' privacy
  • Reduce the risk of monetary fraud
