Recognised as the cradle of functional safety, the process industry was the first to develop and introduce functional safety standards following hazardous incidents in a number of process industry plants in the late 1990s. IEC 61508 was the result. Since then this has been followed by a range of application specific standards like IEC 61511 that cover safety relevant applications in the process industry.
Working to the latest version of IEC 61511, our functional safety experts can help you take advantage of, and ensure compliance with, the numerous updates. While the standard seems to better reflect real life practice, meeting all of its normative requirements remains a challenge.
