Prove the quality and interoperability of your IEC 62351 devices and implementations
As grids become smarter with more integrated IT, security becomes a larger and larger risk factor. Data and communications need to be safeguarded to protect critical infrastructure and maintain a reliable energy supply. The IEC 62351 standard offers an internationally accepted for delivering that security. And compliance with it ensures performance and interoperability, making systems and components more attractive to network operators.

Better safe than sorry
As part of a broad portfolio of data communication protocol services, DNV offers independent IEC 62351 verification and conformance testing. This helps you prove the security and interoperability of your substation automation products including SCADA systems and components such as RTUs. In addition, it allows you to solve any compliance issues during development. As a result, network operators can implement IEC 60870 and IEC 61850-based systems and devices without additional risk and ensure industry standard protection according to IEC 62351.

To make certain that your products are tested efficiently and effectively, we work with you to prepare a customised test plan that may cover any further technical specifications you might require. Subsequently, our highly skilled engineers perform the agreed services at our state-of-the-art laboratories, or at a location of your choosing.

After testing, we provide you with a complete test report. If any tests are failed, you receive additional information to shine a light on the cause of the issue(s). You can also call on our support and experience to achieve full compliance.

Work with the leading test lab
Through years of participation in international user and standardisation groups, (such as UCAIUG and IEC) we have gained a deep understanding of the standard. Real-life implementations at end-users as well as hundreds of tested devices at our leading test lab built up our practical experience. Hence, we can provide you with quality and support that is second to none, whether it’s in adopting best practices or overcoming the challenges associated with achieving verification or compliance.
