E-world energy & water 2026 set a new record this year: Over 1,100 exhibitors from more than 80 nations showcased their solutions for the energy supply of tomorrow in Essen in mid-February. Right in the middle of it all: the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), which also presented product certificates to manufacturers at the trade fair.
We were particularly pleased to hand over the certificates to our customer Theben Smart Energy. The company received two certificates for the re-certification of the control module: One according to TR-03109-5 for interoperability and one according to the BSZ procedure for IT security.
As a testing body, we were able to support Theben Smart Energy in this process. The re-certification confirms that the control module continues to meet the high security requirements of the BSI and works together with other components of the smart metering system.
Such projects show how important close cooperation between manufacturers, test centers and the BSI is for the successful rollout of the smart meter infrastructure. E-world provided a framework for this as a central industry platform where the energy industry, regulators and technology providers can exchange ideas.
