The New ISA100 Wireless System Certification (November 11nth, 2020)

The Wireless Compliance Institute is happy to announce the new ISA100 Wireless system certification program.

As adoption of wireless has matured, systems have scaled to thousands of devices, and applications have expanded so that control and safety over wireless are now routine. Modern large-scale wireless networks cover entire process sites: tank farms, jetties, perimeters, offshore platforms, and more.

These wireless systems serve mission critical needs, involve substantial capital investment, and are subject to rigorous design engineering requirements. To reduce risk, end users and EPCs are now demanding comprehensive certifications at the system level.

WCI’s new system certification complements cybersecurity certifications from our sister organization, the Security Compliance Institute. Together, these certifications validate state of the art interoperability and cybersecurity for mission-critical wireless systems. We anticipate that many users will require both certifications, especially for installations that are deployed at scale.

Topics covered include:

• Basics of industrial wireless explained
• Unique features and user benefits of ISA100 Wireless
• Certification Overview
• Introducing the ISA100 Wireless System Certification
• Support and Resources
