Eurofins E&E’s Accreditation now includes Railway Cybersecurity

In the modern world the importance of cybersecurity has grown significantly because of the exponential growth of IoT, digitalization, networking and automation. The current state world affairs also emphasizes the importance of good cybersecurity.

Eurofins Electric & Electronics Finland’s accreditation scope now includes railway cybersecurity technical specification TS 50701.

Our Finas accredited and independent safety assessment(ISA) body IO57 can now assess railway related products and systems cybersecurity according to TS 50701.

The expansion of the accreditation scope strengthens Eurofins Electric & Electronics Finland’s already extensive railway testing, inspection and assessment services.

T50701:2021 Railway applications – Cybersecurity will be the basis of IEC’s work which will in the future become the railway cybersecurity standard IEC 63452 Ed q applications – Cybersecurity. This standard will very likely be the EU harmonized standard for railway regulation with which the responsible party can prove conformity.

If you are not familiar with TS 50701 you should look into it and start preparing for future cybersecurity requirements. Starting early your company can ensure your products and systems are up to date and implementing cybersecurity requirements can be done with care, for example during regular product development. By anticipating requirements your company can save money and ensure the conformity of your products. Through third party assessment your company can achieve advantages compared to your competitors when you can prove your cybersecurity of your products.
