B&R Achieves IEC 62443-4-1 Certification for Entire Product Development

B&R (ABB Machine Automation) has achieved IEC 62443-4-1 certification across its entire product development process following an independent audit by TÜV Rheinland.

This certification confirms that cybersecurity is embedded across the full product lifecycle — from requirements and design to implementation, testing and maintenance.

Why this matters for industrial automation

IEC 62443-4-1 is the global benchmark for secure product development in industrial automation. B&R’s certified processes reduce compliance burden for machine builders and plant operators, shorten time-to-market, and increase investment security.

Software maturity and strategic benefits

B&R’s software development achieved Maturity Level 3 under IEC 62443-4-1, demonstrating a mature, repeatable approach to secure software engineering. Customers gain products designed for long-term resilience and regulatory readiness.

Being certified helps prepare customers for upcoming rules such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act (from 2027) and accelerates innovation by streamlining certification workflows.

Practical support and transparency

B&R provides hands-on cybersecurity training, expert workshops, and technical support to help companies implement effective security measures. Security advisories and vulnerability data are offered in machine-readable CSAF format to simplify management and documentation.
