System Assessment and Certification of HIPPS, Turbines, and other Bespoke Systems

Recording Date: November 2024

In this webinar, we examine Bespoke Systems and discuss the application of standard IEC 61511 in this context. We will explore how to select the appropriate standard, implement an assessment project effectively while minimizing errors and rework. The market for functional safety standards is expanding, with significant adoption across various countries and industries. In some regions, compliance with standard IEC 61511 is mandatory for equipment such as turbines to obtain operational approval. Consequently, organizations must demonstrate that their deployed systems effectively manage risks. Safety professionals involved in these operations must be capable of executing projects efficiently. These standards facilitate communication across different industries and applications, which is beneficial in this context. We also explore various verification and validation methods commonly employed, assessing their coverage of the safety lifecycle.
