Implementation of Functional Safety
According to IEC 61508, respectively IEC 61511, a demand and process-oriented quality management is essential for the product lifecycle of safety-focused systems and components. It ensures the product lifecycle and optimizes it economically. The ideal integration of the IEC 61508, respectively IEC 61511, into an existing management system is hereby an important step.
Whenever safety management systems are implemented, all management activities must be applied in new projects and in the entire operation of a technical system, in accordance with IE 61508 and IEC 61511 regulations respectively. When the definition of new projects is pending, only a simple, a short project and quality management plan are necessary.
This is Our Approach
- SWOT analysis of the operational and organisational structure in regards to the IEC 61508 respectively IEC 61511
- Prioritised requirements for the management system
- Prioritised corrective and improvement measures for the management system
- Adjustment of the quality management according to the selected measures for safety relevant systems
- Implementation of the changed management system on the basis of the core processes (based on choosen products)
- Preparation for the safety management audit according to IEC 61508 respectively IEC 61511 (internal audits, pre-raudits based on the presumptions of the certification prodcedure)
- Functional Safety Management Audit
- after successful examination: proof with a certificate „Management of Functional Safety“ according to IEC 61508 respectively IEC 61511 possible
