The law establishes a series of requirements that will allow a baseline to be established in the consideration of IoT<\/strong>-related products: consumer electronics companies will be able to choose not to comply with them, and therefore it will not be illegal to offer unsafe products on the market\u200a\u2014\u200awhich will predictably have lower prices\u200a\u2014\u200abut for those who prefer to pay for a higher level of security, there will be at least a series of basic industry standards to which they can refer, and which other manufacturers more committed to security will be able to use. Some states, like California and Oregon, have already developed legislation in this regard, but the passage of a law at the federal level is a strong incentive to create industry standards.
