dSPACE GmbH Has Completed Third-Party Certification Of ISO/IEC 5230:2020

dSPACE GmbH, a global leader in simulation and validation, has adopted ISO/IEC 5230:2020 via completed third-party certification provided by TÜV SÜD. TÜV SÜD is an official OpenChain Partner and is a well-known certification provider. 

“This certification is another important building block in dSPACE’s compliance management system,” says Stefan Schukat, Software Compliance Manager at dSPACE, “and the commitment to a sustainable, meaningful and compliant use of Open Source as well as the support of Open Source projects. We chose third-party certification via TÜV SÜD to ensure our adoption had assessment from independent, accredited experts, and to support the highest possible quality in our process management.”

“The adoption of ISO/IEC 5230 by dSPACE GmbH and their choice of third- party certification is a notable milestone in the increasing maturity of the open source supply chain,” says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager. “Our goal has always been to link more and more companies via trusted, reliable and consistent process management. This is an excellent example. Incidentally, the first OpenChain third-party certification was provided by TUV SUD to Hitachi in 2018. We are delighted to see the continuation of their service provision to the market, and our continued momentum in this domain.”
