Navigating the testing and certification process to demonstrate compliance with applicable safety and performance requirements for industrial systems and equipment can present significant challenges. While technical expertise is crucial to the design and manufacture of any product, it becomes even more critical for complex equipment designed for use in industrial environments. Validating that these products meet applicable technical requirements demands a strong understanding of relevant regulatory frameworks.

Join us for an extensive seminar designed to provide actionable insights into the latest advancements and challenges in the industrial sector. This event will bring together industry experts to explore critical topics, including functional safety, evolving cybersecurity regulations such as the EU Machinery Regulation and Cyber Resilience Act, and the U.S. National Cybersecurity Strategy. Attendees will also gain a deeper understanding of international standards like IEC 62443, radio testing under the Radio Equipment Directive (RED), and strategies for achieving global market access in regions such as the U.S., Canada, China, and more. This is your opportunity to stay informed and equipped to navigate the complexities of industrial compliance and innovation.

In addition, the seminar will explore critical areas such as industrial IoT and connected devices, robotics, and industrial automation, focusing on their integration, security, and compliance within the industrial landscape
