Many major brands, particularly in the construction industry, rebrand smart locks, meters, house automation and smart relay equipment of unknown origin with their own brand names. Since they're the ones who put the products on the market, they're the ones who will have to provide maintenance and safety updates, regardless of whether they're an OEM or not.

People were unhappy to discover that their cloud-connected smart lock was no longer working after 2 years. And states don't want to have a large population of vulnerable equipment that could be used to amplify state-sponsored attacks on their national networks.

This is the purpose of the European Cyber Resilience Act.

But these rules make no such requirement.
