These are not type test standards in any normal sense, so you won't find a body which can perform accredited testing in the way that you can with (for instance) EN 60950. If anyone does offer you this facility, be wary - they probably don't know what they are talking about in any great depth.
The people at TUV Product Service Munchen who have certified (for instance) the Pilz PSS system will probably be able to help you, but your chances of it being quick (or cheap) are slim to non existent, IMHO. Personally, I'm suspicious of certifications for this sort of application anyway, not because I don't think that TUV and others know what they are doing - I'm sure they do, but because how the certified product is used is also crucial in determining whether the standard has been complied with for the complete equipment. It's far too easy for machinery designers to think that by buying a certified control module they have solved all their machine control reliability problems, and that is very rarely the case. You have not listed EN 62061, which may also be relevant if you are not already aware of it. Regards Nick.
