Certification Body to guide you through IEC61508
Baseefa, the UK based certification body, can offer a service to help customers to assist get an understanding of IEC 61508 as well as provide them with a certified data set according to the standard.
The company points out that IEC 61508 is written on a cradle-to-grave approach for complete safety systems, but has often been misused to award spurious “SIL” numbers to individual items of hardware. It is keen to reiterate that a Safety Integrity Level (SIL) can only be applied to a complete system and not to a component of such a system. By using the CASS Methodology approved by the UK experts who work with IEC 61508 systems, Baseefa says it can produce an authenticated meaningful data set for any component of a system, so that a system designer can justify the SIL for the complete system.
