AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--atsec AB Stockholm, Sweden is thrilled to announce: We are the first IEEE Authorized Testing Facility!

We've officially been approved as an IEEE Authorized Testing Facility, making atsec AB Stockholm, Sweden the first company able to provide testing of medical devices according to the IEEE 2621 standard. Additional locations include atsec corporation Austin TX, USA and atsec GmbH Munich, Germany.

The IEEE, or Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, is a globally recognized leader in developing technical standards.
