ISAGCA Advocacy & Adoption

Adoption Status of Laws, Regulations, and Standards
Domestic and Global Efforts
The ISAGCA Advocacy Team works with various stakeholders to encourage reliance upon ISA/IEC 62443 in laws, regulations, and other standards. We are continuing our work to engage government agencies in these efforts and engage other standards organizations.
- Singapore created a law that references IEC 62443.

- The European Union meets monthly to work with IEC standards committees to help them reference IEC 62443 which is recognized as a horizontal standard to provide cybersecurity standards for various IEC standards. Many of the IEC standards committees plan to public a major revision of their standards by 2025.
- The NEC (National Electrical Code) 2023 Requirements for Critical Operations Power Systems includes references to ISA/IEC 62443 and the ISA Security Compliance Institute.
