Functional safety: new guide
August 1st 2008 A new guide about
Functional Safety is now
available from ABB.
Entitled 'A methodology
for achieving Functional
Safety certification to
IEC61508', the guide provides
a detailed explanation of the
key areas that users need to
consider when designing,
implementing and operating
a functional safety
programme.
Written by ABB's safety
expert Stuart Nunns, the
guide is based on a real
example involving a global
company which undertook
third-party accreditation for
its functional safety
management against the
requirements of IEC 61508
and IEC 61511.
The guide provides a
useful point of reference for
any organisation seeking to
gain Functional Safety
accredited certification.
HSM readers can obtain a
free copy of the guide, by
