Certification acc. to IEC 62443
Certification of your industrial automation and control systems according to IEC 62443
Automation and control systems are becoming more compound of standardized hardware and software components, and respectively linked with each other. The increasing digitalization and integration of production lines & critical infrastructures have led to an increase in IT security risks.
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 for potential weaknesses of their automation and control technology, and to counter them with development of effective protection measures. The standard focuses on IT security of “Industrial Automation and Control Systems” (IACS) which are necessary for reliable and secure operations of automated systems and infrastructures.
- 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 areas
Automation and control system services & products could not be certified for IT security until now. Before IEC 62443, no valid international standards had been developed for this purpose. With the introduction of IEC 62443 family of standards, this situation has been changed and 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.
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 manufacturers. TÜV SÜD is accredited according to IEC 62443 by the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS).
