Certified development process at Pilz

Pilz has security in mind right from the design stage and has had its development process certified by TÜV Süd with the security standard.

When developing products, the safety of people should be considered from the outset. Pilz has now had its development process certified by TÜV Süd and received the international security standard. 

Already from the design phase of products security properties are analysed, risks are identified and remedied in the product. This extension to the existing Functional Safety Management certification promises customers of Mushroom double security with immediate effect.

The international IEC 62443 series of standards provides the normative framework for industrial security in automation. For "secure" product development, the subordinate standard IEC 62443-4-1 describes requirements for a so-called "Security Development Lifecycle Process" (SDL process). It is intended to ensure that Weak points recognised and eliminated throughout the entire life cycle of the system and individual components become. 

TÜV Süd has tested Pilz's development processes. The result: the company fulfils the requirements of the standard, looks ahead at potential risks and thus ensures the security of its products right from the development stage.

"The certification emphasises the importance of industrial security and is strategically just as important as the functional safety certifications. Security protects safety and safety protects people. This chain is now complete thanks to the certification of our development activities in accordance with IEC 62443-4-1, offering our customers the industrial security that industry needs in the age of international data networking."
