Use this guide to turn official requirements into scope, evidence, owner, and review decisions. This guidance is practical, source-linked, and should be validated against current legal and policy requirements before implementation. ETSI Evidence Mapping is a simple crosswalk that links each UK PSTI duty to the product, the evidence that shows compliance, the owner, and any escalation path. A finished mapping should read like a short decision record or table that shows the trigger, the applicable rule, the evidence to keep, and who is responsible. ## What should teams decide about ETSI Evidence Mapping under UK PSTI Product Security? Start by deciding whether the product is a relevant connectable product and which manufacturer, importer, distributor, statement-of-compliance, vulnerability-disclosure, password, support-period, or OPSS enforcement duty is triggered. The useful answer should name the exact trigger, affected product or process, required action, owner, evidence, and escalation point. Keep the legal source, product-scope decision, manufacturer/importer/distributor role, statement of compliance, and technical evidence together so OPSS-facing records are reviewable. - Define the exact ETSI Evidence Mapping trigger and the business process it affects. - Record which role, product, system, customer group, or data flow is in scope. - Attach the source-linked rule, the owner, and the evidence field before approving the control. - Escalate uncertainty when the facts depend on thresholds, exemptions, cross-border activity, vulnerable users, or enforcement-sensitive wording.

Ownership should sit with the team that controls product design, supply-chain placement, importer/distributor checks, or customer security information, with legal and product-security review. Evidence should show relevant-connectable-product scope, default-password controls, vulnerability disclosure channel, minimum support period, statement of compliance, supply-chain role checks, and OPSS notice response readiness. - Name one accountable owner and one reviewer for the ETSI Evidence Mapping workflow. - Keep source screenshots or source links, decision notes, implementation tickets, and approval records together. - Use dated evidence for deadlines, notices, risk assessments, contracts, user journeys, and regulator-facing records. - Review the evidence after product changes, new markets, new vendors, enforcement updates, or material changes in the source text.

Most PSTI mistakes happen at the boundary between manufacturer, importer and distributor duties, excepted products, bundled products, support-period statements, and evidence that does not match the shipped product. Use this section before UK market placement, importer onboarding, distributor acceptance, or support-period publication so the evidence matches the actual product and supply-chain role. - Check PSTI-specific boundaries: relevant connectable product scope, excepted products, bundled products, manufacturer/importer/distributor role, statement-of-compliance coverage, and support-period wording. - Separate binding law, regulator guidance, consultation material, standards, and enforcement commentary in the evidence record. - Do not rely on a previous answer if the data categories, user interface, vendor role, or contractual flow changed. - Track unresolved assumptions in an open-questions section and route legal interpretation points for review.

Use a compact PSTI workflow that captures product scope, role, password control, vulnerability disclosure route, support-period information, statement-of-compliance approval, and OPSS escalation path. The output should be a product-scope note, statement-of-compliance pack, supplier attestation, customer-facing support-period notice, or OPSS response record. - Create a short intake question that identifies the ETSI Evidence Mapping scenario. - Map the answer to a required action, evidence field, owner, reviewer, and review date. - Link related artifact pages with descriptive anchors so users can move from scope to deadlines, controls, penalties, and templates. - Update the workflow when official source material changes or when internal evidence shows recurring exceptions.
