Functional safety in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1 and EN IEC 62061

The objective of the training is to put across to you the processes and standards that are important in the design and evaluation of safety-related control systems. This training course addresses how EN ISO 13849-1 (the safety-related control systems standard) is applied in automation and equipment design. In addition, we introduce you to the requirements resulting from the EN IEC 62061 standard.

• Safety regulations and standards (introduction)
• Standards for safety-related control systems
• EN ISO 13849-1
• EN IEC 62061
• Detailed overview of the design principles for safety-related control systems
• Calculation of the safety integrity level (SIL) and performance level (PL)

Developers, design engineers and planners in plant and machine engineering and control and automation technology.

• Detailed evaluations from safety design
• Main architectures and alternatives in the design of safety-related control systems, including practical examples
• Advantages of a structured concept for the design of safety systems
• Tried-and-tested methods for your machine design

Equivalent to 7 hours of CPD

Continuing Professional Development - usually abbreviated to CPD - is the intentional maintenance and development of the knowledge and skills needed to perform in a professional context. CPD hours (or points) are a way of measuring time and quality of learning. Points can be collected in a personal portfolio allowing participants to track their professional development and progression. CPD-accredited training can assist participants in honing their current skills, developing them to a new level or it could mean learning entirely new ones.
