TÜV AUSTRIA Shanghai (cn.tuvaustria.com) managing director Ivan Huang, and members of both the National Technical Committee on Machinery Safety and the Technical Committee on Functional Safety, keynoted the 2026 Annual Meeting of the China National Technical Committee on Machinery Safety (SAC/TC208) with “Cybersecurity: The New Frontier of Machinery Safety”.
Ivan Huang addressed the urgent industry context surrounding the forthcoming mandatory enforcement of the EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, which takes effect on 20 January 2027. The keynote provided a comprehensive analysis of the regulatory requirements, technical standards, and implementation pathways for the deep integration of machinery safety, functional safety, and cybersecurity.
Joining TÜV AUSTRIA Shanghai GM Huang on the stage to share their views were Li Qin, Chairman of SAC/TC208 (China National Standardization Technical Committee on Machinery Safety), Zhang Xiaofei, Secretary-General of SAC/TC208 (China National Standardization Technical Committee on Machinery Safety), Li Liyan, Vice Chairman of SAC/TC208 (China National Standardization Technical Committee on Machinery Safety) and Huang Zhijiong, Deputy Secretary-General of SAC/TC208 (China National Standardization Technical Committee on Machinery Safety)
In his keynote, Ivan Huang turned to the particular needs of the Chinese manufacturing sector against the backdrop of TÜV AUSTRIA’s full spectrum of services encompassing machinery safety, functional safety, and cybersecurity:
- Conformity Assessment and Certification – Providing assessment and certification for individual machines or entire automation systems in accordance with MR (EU) 2023/1230, CRA (EU) 2024/2847.
- Threat Modelling and Risk Assessment Support – By bridging EN ISO 12100 (machinery safety) and IEC 62443‑3‑2 (cybersecurity), we provide a holistic risk picture that streamlines compliance, eliminates duplicated efforts, and strengthens your machines’ resilience against both physical and cyber‑induced failures.
- Vulnerability Testing and Penetration Testing – Helping manufacturers establish a complete product security development lifecycle (from security requirements definition, secure design, and secure implementation through to verification and validation, and defect/patch management and product end-of-life) based on IEC 62443‑4‑1.
- Machinery Functional Safety (PL) Verification – Verifying the performance level (PL) of safety-related part of control systems in accordance with ISO 13849-1.
- Machinery Safety Testing – Conducting comprehensive testing and verification of machinery safety performance against harmonised standards, ensuring robust compliance with current safety requirements.
- Training and Consulting – Offering regular in‑depth seminars on the new regulations and hands‑on cybersecurity workshops, empowering companies to prepare proactively and navigate compliance challenges with confidence.
