HCT Achieves KOLAS Accreditation in IoT and Medical Device Cybersecurity Testing

On October 23, HCT Co., Ltd. announced that it has obtained additional international accreditation from the Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS), under the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS), in the fields of wireless communications, Internet of Things (IoT), and medical device cybersecurity testing.

With this newly expanded accreditation, HCT is now qualified to provide globally recognized testing services covering both the mandatory cybersecurity requirements of the European Radio Equipment Directive (RED) and comprehensive cybersecurity evaluations for medical devices. This achievement further strengthens HCT’s capability to support manufacturers in meeting increasingly stringent international regulatory requirements.

The newly accredited scope includes a total of five international standards: the EN 18031-1, -2, and -3 series addressing cybersecurity requirements under the European RED framework, as well as IEC 81001-5-1 and IEC TR 60601-4-5, which are key international standards for medical device software and cybersecurity risk management. These standards are widely regarded as essential benchmarks for compliance with emerging European Union regulations as well as cybersecurity requirements imposed by major global regulatory authorities.

Through this expansion of international accreditation, HCT has established a robust and specialized testing framework capable of supporting cybersecurity conformity assessments across a wide range of advanced technology sectors, including wireless devices, IoT products, and medical devices. Looking ahead, HCT plans to continue strengthening its cybersecurity testing capabilities by upgrading test infrastructure, cultivating specialized technical expertise, and expanding its global collaboration network, in line with the growing demand for cybersecurity evaluation in the IoT and medical device industries.
