The First Harmonized Approach to Smart Meter Safety Certification Was Formally Certified in Europe

Smart meter certification performed using this protection profile by any of the certification bodies members of the SOG-IS agreement will be recognized across the 17 European countries that have signed that agreement. The development of smart energy grids is dramatically changing the grid and traditional energy services and markets are undergoing a significant transformation. Internet of Things (IoT) communication networks are already in use and enable modern energy services provided by grid operators and energy service companies. With this increasingly connected environment comes the risk of vulnerabilities, which could affect the reliability of the energy system and the trust of consumers. Therefore, securing the smart grid and the related communications systems is essential for a successful energy transition.
