In October 2024, TÜV Rheinland, the German Technical Inspection Association in the Rhineland region of Germany, certified the secure product development process at Endress+Hauser in accordance with the IEC 62443-4-1 security standard, maturity level 3. Five of the group’s competence centers were certified: Endress+Hauser Flow, Endress+Hauser Level+Pressure, Endress+Hauser Liquid Analysis, Endress+Hauser Temperature+System Products, and Endress+Hauser Digital Solutions.
“We are particularly proud of this certificate as it recognizes our many years of effort to achieve the highest level of security in our product centers. This level of structured approach across many different development sites shows the importance Endress+Hauser places on cybersecurity,” said Mirko Brcic, Product Security Officer at Endress+Hauser.
One visible result of the cybersecurity measures is the development of secure access to Endress+Hauser measuring devices via Bluetooth. In principle, a company that aligns its processes with IEC 62443-4-1 must prove that cybersecurity is incorporated throughout the entire life cycle of a product. “With the IEC 62443-4-1 certification, we have jointly laid the foundation for supplying secure products in the future and being prepared for regulations such as the CRA,” said Mr. Brcic.
