What is PD IEC TS 63208 about?
PD IEC TS 63208 discusses about the security aspects of low-voltage switchgear and controlgear which enhances the operational safety and performance of switch and control gears. PD IEC TS 63208 applies to the security related main functions of switchgear and controlgear during the whole lifecycle of the equipment.
PD IEC TS 63208 is applicable to wired and wireless data communication means and the physical accessibility to the equipment, within its limits of environmental conditions.
PD IEC TS 63208 is intended to develop awareness about security aspects and provides recommendations and requirements on the appropriate countermeasures against vulnerability to threats.
Note 1: PD IEC TS 63208 does not cover security requirements for information technology (IT) and for industrial automation and control systems (IACS), but if only implements in switchgear and controlgear appropriate security countermeasures
Who is PD IEC TS 63208 for?
PD IEC TS 63208 on security aspect for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear is relevant to:
- Companies dealing with security systems for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear
- Retailers and suppliers of switches for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear
Why should you use PD IEC TS 63208?
Low-voltage switchgear is a three-phase power distribution which is designed for safety, efficiently and reliable supply of electric power at voltage up to 1000 volts. Controlgear is a term for switches, fuse and circuit breakers which is used to control, protect and isolate the electrical equipment.
PD IEC TS 63208 provides you numerous types of security for low-voltage switchgear and control gear such as: audit log, authorization, confidentiality, countermeasure, cybersecurity, data integrity, defense in depth, security audit, system integrity, security policy and smart manufacturing.
PD IEC TS 63208 gives you the guidance on countermeasures applicable to design the equipment (hardware, firmware, network, interface, access control) and on additional countermeasures are given for implementing and instructing for use.
As a user of PD IEC TS 63208, you will be able to acquire the high security for your low-voltage switchgear and controlgear.
