We’ve officially been approved as an IEEE Authorized Testing Facility, making atsec AB Stockholm, Sweden the first company able to provide testing of medical devices according to the IEEE 2621 standard. Additional locations include atsec corporation Austin TX, USA and atsec GmbH Munich, Germany.

The IEEE, or Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, is a globally recognized leader in developing technical standards. Earning their authorization as a testing facility demonstrates our capability to conduct rigorous and reliable security evaluations of medical devices according to the IEEE 2621 standard.

Importantly, the IEEE 2621 standard is recognized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the leading regulatory body for medical devices in the United States. This recognition signifies that the FDA considers the standard to be a valuable tool in ensuring medical device security.

Proven Expertise Through Pilot Projects

“We enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to become a player in this domain when IEEE first contacted atsec in July 2022,” said Sal La Pietra, President and founder of atsec.

“We’re particularly proud of this achievement because it follows the successful completion of two pilot projects that used the IEEE 2621 standard for medical device testing. These projects allowed us to refine our processes and demonstrate our expertise in applying this standard,” added Rasma Mozuraite Araby, Managing Director of atsec AB in Stockholm, Sweden.
