SGS awards IEC 62443 series cybersecurity certification to Wotech Energy and signs large-scale fire test agreement at SNEC 2026
With the full integration of energy storage systems into the power grid and cloud, cybersecurity has become a core issue for global energy infrastructure. In recent years, cyberattacks targeting energy systems have occurred frequently, and regulatory agencies in various countries have imposed increasingly stringent cybersecurity compliance requirements on energy storage systems. The IEC 62443 series of standards, as the authoritative global standard for industrial automation and control system cybersecurity, has become a key entry barrier for energy storage products entering high-end markets.
During the collaboration, SGS, leveraging its deep technical expertise in industrial cybersecurity, conducted a comprehensive cybersecurity assessment of Wotech Energy’s energy storage systems in strict accordance with the IEC 62443 standards. Through rigorous technical reviews and testing, the SGS expert team verified the compliance of Wotech Energy’s energy storage systems in areas such as network defense, access control, data protection, and emergency response, confirming that they meet international industrial control security standards.
At the event, Wotech Energy also held a signing ceremony with SGS for the UL 9540A large-scale fire test. According to the agreement, Wotech Energy’s energy storage products will undergo SGS’s rigorous large-scale fire testing. This test simulates extreme fire scenarios to comprehensively assess the structural integrity and safety protection capabilities of battery energy storage systems under thermal runaway conditions, and is an internationally recognized high-difficulty safety entry standard. Wotech Energy has always regarded safety as the lifeline of its products. By introducing SGS’s authoritative third-party certification, it will further verify and enhance the reliable performance of its energy storage solutions under extreme conditions, providing global users with more secure energy assurance.
Wang Chengye, Senior Director of Large-Scale Storage Products at Wotech Energy
Wang Chengye, Senior Director of Large-Scale Storage Products at Wotech Energy, stated: “Obtaining the IEC 62443 series cybersecurity certification is not only an authoritative recognition of the safety of Wotech Energy’s products but also a solemn commitment to the protection of global user data. Faced with increasingly stringent global compliance requirements, this certification meets the strict entry thresholds for industrial control system cybersecurity in high-end markets such as Europe and the United States, clearing compliance barriers for Wotech Energy’s products going global. We will build a comprehensive cybersecurity defense line from the device layer to the cloud platform, effectively safeguarding users’ energy assets and data security, and setting a benchmark for cybersecurity in the industry.”
Zheng Kai, Director of Renewable and Advanced Energy at SGS’s Connectivity Technology and Electronic Electrical Services Division
Zheng Kai, Director of Renewable and Advanced Energy at SGS’s Connectivity Technology and Electronic Electrical Services Division, stated: “The collaboration between the two parties bridges the gap from ‘invisible’ digital security to ‘visible’ system security verification. It not only reflects Wotech Energy’s forward-thinking approach in building its security system but also highlights SGS’s comprehensive capabilities in multi-dimensional security services. We firmly believe that only by establishing a dual defense line that integrates digital and physical security can the energy storage industry achieve safe, reliable, and sustainable high-quality development.”
SGS possesses a professional technical team and extensive evaluation experience in the field of industrial cybersecurity, capable of providing enterprises with one-stop services ranging from standard interpretation and security assessment to compliance certification. This in-depth collaboration between SGS and Wotech Energy not only provides solid compliance assurance for the company’s globalization strategy but also offers a valuable practical model for the standardized development of the energy storage industry in terms of cybersecurity. By building a more resilient security system, both parties aim to provide global users with more reliable products to defend against increasingly complex cyber threats, thereby comprehensively enhancing the security level of energy infrastructure and jointly constructing a safe, stable, and sustainable green energy ecosystem.
