Personal Certification IEC 61508

New technologies and extended functionalities in process automation lead to the development of an increasing amount of safety relevant electronical systems and to their usage for risk reduction at technical sites. At the same time, that means that not only the amount of electronical components and systems rises, but also their complexity and the demands for safety. The generic safety standard IEC 61508 requires companies to ensure that personnel dealing with functional safety possesses a sufficient amount of competence and qualification. In process technology, skilled personnel is desperately being searched for on the the labor market that is able to demonstrate their competency and professionalism through corresponding qualifications.

Therefore we have created a 3-stage personal certification program.

Stage 1 = FSCED (Functional Safety Certified Engineer Development) proof of fundamental knowledge of the concepts and goals of functional safety management.
Stufe 2 = FSCCD (Functional Safety Certified Coordinator /Consultant Development) prof of the competency to plan, conduct and document assessments based on the IEC 61508
Stage 3 = FSCMD (Functional Safety Certified Manager Development) proof of the competency to be assigned as a process owner of functional safety management and to plan tasks and work products within Projects.
