IEC 62443
IEC 62443 is a series of standards that address security for operational technology in automation and control systems. The series is divided into different sections and describes both technical and process-related aspects of automation and control systems security.
In 2002, the International Society of Automation (ISA), a professional automation engineering society and ANSI-accredited standards development organization (SDO) established a standards committee (ISA99). This committee developed a multi-part series of standards and technical reports addressing the cybersecurity of Automation and Control Systems. These standards were initially published as ANSI/ISA-99 or ISA99 standards.
Around 2010, ISA99 strengthened its relationship with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), leading to the renaming of the standards to ANSI/ISA-62443. The available content was submitted to and used by IEC working groups. Since then, the series has been commonly referred to as IEC 62443.
Meanwhile, the German engineering associations VDI and VDE released the VDI/VDE 2182 guidelines in 2011. The guidelines describe how to handle information security in industrial automation environments and were also submitted to and used by the IEC working groups.
The IEC 62443 series of standards is maintained by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Technical Committee 65 Working Group 10 (IEC TC65 WG10). The IEC working group and ISA99 committee continue to collaborate, creating joint leadership and project teams to develop the standards in the IEC 62443 series. Their collaboration integrates the processes and procedures of both ISA and IEC Directives, ensuring alignment in the development process.
The resulting standards are published by ISA as ANSI/ISA 62443 in the United States and by IEC as IEC 62443 internationally. For any given part of the series, the technical content of the ISA and IEC editions is identical where both organizations have accepted the content.
The relationship between IEC and ISA in the development of the IEC 62443 series is characterized by complementary roles. IEC serves as the global standardization body responsible for publishing and maintaining the IEC 62443 series, while ISA contributes significant technical expertise, industry insight, and foundational drafts through its ISA99 committee.
ISA primarily focuses on the U.S. market and publishes standards under the ANSI/ISA 62443 designation. IEC, on the other hand, ensures global adoption and harmonization of the standards as IEC 62443.
