Certification acc. to IEC 62443
Certification of your industrial automation and control systems according to IEC 62443
Automation and control systems are more and more compound of standardized hardware and software components and respectively linked. The increasing digitalization and integration of production lines and critical infrastructures lead to an remarkable increase in IT security risks. Not least because the shortly passed IT security law of German Bundestag operators have to protect their IT infrastructures. Thereto they have to have to trust the IT security of their products in use.
Therefore, as one of the first providers, TÜV SÜD has established relevant tests and certifications according to the new IT security standard IEC 62443. On the basis of this new standard IEC 62443 companies can check potential weaknesses of their automation and control technology and develop effective protection measures for it. The standard focuses on IT security of “Industrial
Automation and Control Systems” (IACS) which are necessary for reliable and secure operation of automated systems and infrastructures.
TÜV SÜD is accredited according to IEC 62443 by the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS).
The certification is based on the standard IEC 62443-2-4 and IEC 62443-3-3 for system integrators and IEC 62443-4-1 and IEC 62443-3-3 for manufactures. TÜV SÜD is accredited according to IEC 62443 by the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS).
- Conformity testing of development respectively integration processes
- Assessment of implemented IT security functions
- Issuance of an appropriate certificates and test marks
- Product manufacturer (components, subsystems, systems) for industrial plants and critical infrastructures
- System integrator of solutions for automation and control system operators in the production, process technology and critical infrastructure area
Automation and control system services and products could not have been certified regarding IT security until now. No international valid standards had been developed for this purpose. This situation has changed with the publication of valid documents of IEC 63443 family of standards, so that a certification of IACS according to IEC 62443 is now possible.
As one of the first providers, TÜV SÜD offers relevant tests and certifications according to IEC 62443. The product certification is based on the IEC 62443-4-1 standard whereby the IT security functions of the products are assessed according to IEC 62443-3-3. For system integrators the certification is done according to standard IEC 62443-2-4 and the IT security functions are also evaluated according to IEC 62443-3-3.
