Is PBKDF2 with HMAC-SHA at 512 bits encryption, in line with NIST / FIPS recommendations?

We are using the mentioned password function and we need to know if is in line with the NIST recommendations regarding strength, https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/FIPS/NIST.FIPS.180-4.pdf
 
Reading interystems docummentation is not 100% clear for me as it states "(See RSA Laboratories Public-Key Cryptography Standards #5 and Federal Information Processing Standards Publications 180-4 and 198-1 for more information.)"
