Achilles Communication Certification
Independent certification validating the network robustness of industrial devices.
WHAT IS acc
Independent RobustnessCertification for Industrial Devices
Achilles Communication Certification (ACC) is an independent certification program offered by Wurldtech to validate how industrial devices handle abnormal and high-stress network conditions. ACC evaluates how devices behave when exposed to abnormal, malformed, and high-stress network conditions, ensuring they meet defined robustness requirements before deployment into operational environments.
Certification Levels
Two certification levels are available to validate device communication robustnessunder progressively more rigorous network stress and testing conditions.
Level 1 Certification
Validates that a product meets fundamental network robustness requirements.
- Confirms stable operation under basic abnormal network conditions
- Ensures correct handling of common protocol scenarios
- Suitable for devices requiring baseline robustness assurance
Level 2 Certification
Validates device behavior under stricter and more rigorous test conditions.
- Extended stress and robustness testing
- Evaluation under sustained and adverse network traffic
- Higher assurance for deployment in demanding industrial environments
CERTIFICATION PROCESS
Achilles Communication Certification Process
A defined, step-by-step process for evaluating and certifying the communication robustness of industrial devices.
Step 1
Application
The manufacturer submits the device for Achilles Communication Certification and defines the intended certification level and scope.
Step 2
Testing
The device undergoes standardized network robustness and protocol testing under abnormal and high-stress conditions.
Step 3
Review
Test results are evaluated against defined certification criteria by an accredited laboratory to determine compliance.
Step 4
Certification
If all requirements are met, the product is awarded Achilles Communication Certification at the applicable level.
WHY IT MATTERS
Why Achilles Certification Matters
Achilles identifies weaknesses at the device and network level through controlled, repeatable industrial protocol testing.
Meeting Compliance Requirements
Supports industry security and robustness expectations for industrial environments.Achilles Certification helps demonstrate that devices have been evaluated against defined robustness criteria prior to deployment in operational networks.
Enhancing Security
Validates device behavior under abnormal and high-stress network conditions.Certification confirms that devices can handle unexpected traffic without crashing, becoming unstable, or behaving unpredictably.
Reducing Risk and Downtime
Identifies weaknesses before devices enter live environments.By validating robustness early, certification helps reduce the likelihood of operational disruptions, safety risks, and costly remediation.
Building Customer Trust
Provides independent assurance of device robustness and reliability.Achilles Certification offers objective validation that products meet defined robustness requirements, supporting procurement and deployment decisions.
