  • Working Group 1: Technologies, Technical Report 1
  • Working Group 2: ISA99 Part 2

ISA99 Standard

The ISA99 Standard is a multi-part standard that follows the same structure as many other ISA standards. While standards are typically mandatory, only a small portion of the standard are normative and required for compliance.

Part 1: Terminology, Concepts and Models Part 1 of most ISA standards and ISA99 defines terms, concepts and models for the subsequent parts of the standard.

Part 2: Establishing an Industrial Automation and Control Systems Security Program

Part 3: Operating an Industrial Automation and Control System Security Program

Part 4: Technical Security Requirements for Industrial Automation and Control Systems

There also is a Technical Report (TR 1): Security Technologies for Manufacturing and Control Systems. This document lists security technologies and explains how each technology applies or can be used in control systems.

Standard Status

  • ISA99 Part 1 is approved and published.
  • ISA99 Part 2 is completed and awaiting balloting. It is expected to be approved and published in summer, 2008.
  • ISA99 Part 3 has not been started.
  • ISA99 Part 4 is in process and is unlikely to be completed until late 2009 at the earliest.
