A manufacturer whose product passes the exida IEC 61508 Assessment Scheme will receive a certificate based on IEC 61508 and perhaps other functional safety standards. There is a significant amount of information on a certificate that may not always be trivial for a novice. It is important that a user understands that a certificate does not stand by itself, and that it is supported by a detailed assessment report.
This webinar will explain:
- What happens in an exida certification assessment
- How a company gets a certificate and where to find them
- How one should use and interpret an exida certificate
- How the certification relates to functional safety compliance
