World’s first TÜV SÜD certificate according to IEC 62443-4-1 for Siemens

The IEC 62443 standard is the first that provides a basis for IT security certification for industrial automation and control systems.

As has been noted by Maurizio Scavazzon, head of Smart Grid Services at TÜV SÜD Product Service GmbH, in his LinkedIn post, IEC 62443 is a series of standards governing IT security in plants and systems, system integrators / maintenance service providers and manufacturers of components, subsystems and systems. Certification of product manufacturers is conducted on the basis of IEC 62443-4-1, while security functions of products are evaluated in accordance with IEC 62443-3-3, certification for system integrators employs IEC 62443-2-4, and implemented security functions are likewise assessed under IEC 62443-3-3.

Siemens

TÜV SÜD has been among the first providers to conduct testing and certification that is already in accordance with IEC 62443. The international service provider awarded its first IEC 62443-4-1-based certificate in the world to Siemens only this August; by doing so, it furnished confirmation of Siemens’ compliance with the standard’s security requirements in its interdisciplinary development process for automation and drive products at seven development sites in Germany.
