About IEC 62443
IEC 62443 has been established as the reference standard for cybersecurity in the industrial domain. This standard comes with a holistic approach, providing requirements for the industrial components (e.g. PLCs, HMIs, industrial routers, etc.), as well as for the larger industrial systems. The development and deployment processes are also covered by the standard.
This standard has now been adopted by several markets such as transportation (trains, subways, etc.), utilities network (water, gas, electricity, oil platform, pipelines, etc.), infrastructure (Centralized Technical Management / Building Management System) (towers, tunnels, ports) as well as Smart Buildings / Smart Cities.
On top of the IEC 62443 certification, developers and integrators can certify their products, processes or solutions based on the IECEE scheme, in line with the IEC 62443 requirements. An IECEE certificate will demonstrate that the products, process or solution has passed an extensive evaluation program, which included documentation review, testing and process auditing. Bureau Veritas can support the whole IECEE certification process, with initial preparation, the evaluation work, and the certification step itself.
