UL Certified Functional Safety Professional Training in Machinery

4-Day Course Overview

Standards covered in this course include ISO 13849 (Safety of Machinery – Safety-Related Parts of Control Systems) and IEC 62061 (Safety of Machinery – Functional Safety of Safety-Related Electrical, Electronic, and Programmable Electronic Control Systems). In addition, other topics such as hazard identification and risk assessment in accordance with ISO 12100 will be covered. Case studies on a range of topics, including motor drives with their certification per IEC 61800-5-2 and safety product life cycles, will also be used to provide examples of how the requirements and concepts of the standards are applied. The value of IEC CB Scheme test reports for Global Market Access is explained.

ISO 13849, IEC 62061, and the EU Machinery Directive Training Topics

  • Determination of required performance level
  • Parameters of performance level
  • Mean time to dangerous failure (MTTF), diagnostic coverage (DC)
  • Measures to avoid common cause failures (CCF)
  • Failures to be considered and fault exclusion
  • Introduction of quantitative analysis techniques
  • Evaluation of performance level (“simplified procedure”)
  • Software safety requirements
  • Software-based parameterization

• The future of IEC 62061 and ISO 13849
• Identify the required risk reduction and functional safety ratings (PL and SIL) to be provided by control systems
• Develop a safety concept that satisfies the requirements of both ISO 13849 and IEC 62061
• Apply the steps required by both ISO 13849 and IEC 62061 to achieve the required risk reduction and validate it
• Overview on the requirements of IEC 61800-5-2 for motor drives to simplify machinery safety concepts and the Global Market Access options of the IEC-EE CB Scheme

Optional UL-CFSP Exam

Participants who complete all 4 days of training are eligible to take a two hour certification exam in the afternoon of the fourth day. Those who pass the exam are individually certified as a UL Certified Functional Safety Professional in Machinery or UL-CFSP. Results are provided immediately.
