Pascal LE-RAY, the General Manager of Bureau Veritas Consumer Products Services, Technology Products Taiwan, pointed out that Taiwanese companies have always been export-oriented. Hence, their products must meet the requirements of foreign customers. In recent years, incidents of OT cyberattacks have been prevailing. Therefore, global industry players have been paying more and more attention to information security.

Obtaining the IEC 62443-4-1 certification is not only a positive response to the growing number of customers who request international standard compliance for their equipment, but also a commitment to supply reliable quality products.
