The CLC/TC 47X ‘Semiconductor device and trusted chips’ fostering the development and use of trustworthy semiconductor devices for microelectronics and embedded systems in the European Union. TC 47X aims to establish a common framework in accordance with environmentally good practices for the design, manufacture, and use of semiconductor devices and trusted chips, with a focus on improving security, privacy, and resilience against cyber-attacks. The TC 47X is part of a broader effort by the European Union to improve cybersecurity and protect critical infrastructure against cyber threats.
The TC 47X will:
- Provide the necessary infrastructure to the European industry and experts to discuss the related future standardization activities.
- Adopt the relevant standards developed by IEC/TC 47 and its subcommittees, as per the provisions of the Frankfurt Agreement.
- Address the standardization gaps identified by TC 47X and liaisons partners or a future European standardization roadmap.
- Develop European standards in response to the relevant standardization requests prepared by the European Commission (e.g. in support of the European Chips Act), particularly in terms of chips security, traceability and trustworthiness…
- Seeks to establish a compliance process to develop chips safely, enabling
consumers and businesses to identify and choose products that meet scalable
security standards.
