RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Oct. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Standards Council of Canada recently accredited FM Approvals to be an ISASecure certification body (CB). FM Approvals is now authorized to issue certificates of conformance for the ISA/IEC 62443-based ISASecure® automation and control systems cybersecurity certification scheme upon successful completion of the required testing.

FM Approvals joins the growing list of highly specialized and internationally recognized ISASecure CBs that assess and certify automation and control system products to the ISA/IEC 62443 family of standards.

"We thank our collaborators at the Standards Council of Canada and the energetic team at FM Approvals, LLC," stated Andre Ristaino, ISCI Managing Director. "These two organizations were well prepared, a pleasure to work with, and completed the accreditation in record time. The addition of these two organizations elevates the credibility of the ISASecure ISA/IEC 62443 cybersecurity certification program."

FM Approvals has developed a new cyber security laboratory, located in Norwood, Massachusetts and is staffed with a dedicated team of cyber security and industrial control experts, is a fully virtualized security test environment, hosting its own servers and specially designed cyber security test stations.

Jim Marquedant, VP of Electrical Systems at FM Approvals, states, "The lab is configured to efficiently evaluate multiple ICS products in parallel for compliance with the applicable cyber security standards. ICS products that successfully complete FM Approvals' ISASecure evaluation program will bear the FM Diamond along with a specific security level which signifies that the ICS product is robust against cyber-attacks and free from known vulnerabilities."

The ISASecure scheme is a standards-based certification scheme that assesses the cybersecurity of automation and control systems to the ISA/IEC 62443-4-2 and ISA/IEC 62443-3-3 standards and certifies that the supplier/manufacturer's development processes are conformant to the eight practice areas in ISA/IEC 62443-4-1 international standard.

ISASecure CB's are independently assessed by ISO/IEC 17011 (EN 45011) accreditation bodies (ABs) such as the Standards Council of Canada for conformance to ISO/IEC 17025, ISO/IEC 17065 and, ISASecure technical readiness specifications. ISASecure CB's are audited annually by the AB to ensure they maintain current and updated ISASecure accreditation requirements for participation in the ISASecure scheme.
