Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) Services

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is transforming how industrial systems operate—connecting machinery, sensors, and control systems into intelligent, data-driven ecosystems. However, this convergence of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) introduces new risks where cyber threats can create real-world safety hazards.

Intertek delivers end-to-end IIoT assurance, combining physical safety, cybersecurity, wireless connectivity, and global market access to help manufacturers bring secure, compliant, and high-performing connected products to market—faster.

IIoT systems demand more than traditional product testing. They require a cyber-physical approach that ensures digital vulnerabilities cannot compromise physical safety.

Our integrated approach includes:

• Functional Safety (SIL/PL) evaluations for industrial systems
• Cybersecurity assessments aligned with industrial standards
• Wireless and connectivity validation
• Hazardous location (HazLoc) compliance for connected equipment

Result: A unified assurance strategy that protects both people and infrastructure.

Understanding IIoT cybersecurity standards can be complex. This table helps clarify which standards apply to your product and market.

Why it matters: IIoT devices often require multiple standards, not just one. Intertek helps you determine and apply the right combination.

Intertek delivers end-to-end expertise across safety, cybersecurity, wireless, and performance testing—providing a single, trusted partner to support every stage of your IIoT journey. With globally recognized certifications, we help you access international markets with confidence while streamlining compliance. Our accelerated testing programs are designed to reduce time to market, enabling you to launch innovative connected products faster. By integrating a cyber-physical approach, we ensure that both safety and security are addressed holistically, minimizing risk in complex industrial environments. Backed by over a century of testing excellence, Intertek brings a proven legacy of trust and technical leadership to every engagement.

Intertek’s experience and expertise in the IoT, sensors, robotics, functional safety, and industrial fields on assets and machines provides comprehensive solutions for smart factory technology.
