	NA62 is an experiment designed to measure very rare kaon decays at the CERN SPS planned to start operation in 2014. Until this date, several intermediate run periods have been scheduled to exercise and commission the different parts and subsystems of the detector. The Run Control system monitors and controls all processes and equipment involved in data-taking. This system is developed as a collaboration between the NA62 Experiment and the Industrial Controls and Engineering (EN-ICE) Group of the Engineering Department at CERN. In this paper, the contribution of EN-ICE to the NA62 Run Control project is summarized. EN-ICE has promoted the utilization of standardized control technologies and frameworks at CERN, which were originally developed for the controls of the LHC experiments. This approach has enabled to deliver a working system for the 2013 Technical Run that exceeded the initial requirements, in a very short time and with limited manpower.
