Highlights

In the functional safety world different standards exist for safety equipment and systems. These standards all have different ways of rating or classifying safety systems. The purpose of this paper is to describe the differences and similarities between SIL levels and AK levels.

This course introduces the fundamental and basic principles of safety instrumented system (SIS) design according to IEC 61511. This course is for managers and engineers who want to understand the important aspects of SIS design and selection of safety products, systems and the design of applications.

This course is ideal for engineers and managers that are new to functional safety and IEC 61511. The course is a good preparation for the Risknowlogy Functional Safety Certification Courses (FSCC).

This course introduces the fundamental and basic principles of functional safety according to IEC 61508. The IEC 61508 standard applies to any kind of programmable electronic safety system in any industry. Although the standard is seen as a product developers standard it is a general purpose standard which applies to end-users, system integrators and product developers.

A functional safety data sheet (FSDS) is a certificate expressing an independent review by Risknowlogy about the functional safety properties of your product according to standards like IEC 61508, 61511, or 62061. An FSDS is an excellent independent verification service for suppliers to demonstrate to end-user that their product is compliant with the applicable standards.

A spurious trip level(tm) is an independent review by Risknowlogy of the probability of fail safe of a safety product, loop or system. At Risknowlogy we understand that end-users care as much about safety availability as they do about process availability. The spurious trip level(tm) is an excellent service for product suppliers and end-users to demonstrate that their safety products, loops and systems achieve a low enough spurious trip rate.

The objective if this 1 day training course is to give the attendance an introduction to functional safety, IEC 61508, and what developers of mechanical devices must do to comply with this standard. Allthough IEC 61508 applies to electrical, electronic and programmable electronic safety devices and systems it can without a doubt be applied to mechanical or electro-mechanical devices as well. This course is suitable for managers, engineers, and marketing and sales people. This course is a preparation course for the Certification Courses.
