FREE WEBINAR: 61508 Certification for Mechanical Devices in Safety Applications
April 04, 2011
Date: Thursday, April 28, 2011
Times:
Session 1: 10:00am-11:00am EDT
Session 2: 8:00pm-9:00pm EDT (9:00am-10:00am JST (GMT/UTC + 09:00))
This webinar describes the certification process for simple mechanical products like valves, actuators, or solenoid valves. Topics that will be discussed include:
• IEC 61508 requirements for these certification projects
• The ability to get random failure rates for each failure mode, proof test coverage, and useful life via the FMEDA technique
• A comparison is made between “Cycle Test” results and FMEDA results
• Design process issues are discussed and user documentation requirements are explained
This webinar is useful for engineers who specify valves, actuators, and other mechanical devices for safety functions. Also, professionals who are interested in getting IEC 61508 certification for their mechanical products should attend.
Attendees will have the option to enter a random drawing to receive a copy of the book “Final Elements and the IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 Functional Safety Standards.”
