TÜV SÜD plans to address digitalization of lifts and the impacts of Brexit — including the U.K. Conformity Assessed (UKCA) marking replacing the CE marking in Great Britain (excluding Ireland) — during Interlift on April 26-29 in Augsburg, Germany, TÜV SÜD Group announced on March 3. The transition period for lifts and components to have the UKCA marking in order to be placed on the market in Great Britain ends on December 31, and TÜV SÜD has been accredited to carry out the new certification by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service. This makes TÜV SÜD the first entity recognized as an Approved Body for Great Britain, “thus becoming a one-stop shop for certification for both the European and British markets.” TÜV SÜD also plans to delve into how it can provide specialist knowledge and guidance on functional safety and cybersecurity of lifts, as an increasing number of modern lifts having embedded IT systems to collect data and support connectivity. “As yet, the associated requirements are not covered by available standards,” TÜV SÜD said of  cybersecurity. “However, the international IEC 62443 series of standards now offers a good basis for assessing IT security of industrial automation and controls systems and for developing effective measures to protect these systems.”
