IEC 61508 was officially released by the International Electrotechnical Commission in May 2000. IEC61508 establishes a basic evaluation method for the overall safety lifecycle of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic systems (E/E/PE) composed of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic components that perform safety functions. Its purpose is to propose a consistent and reasonable technical solution for electronic-based safety systems, and to comprehensively consider the combination of components in individual systems (such as sensors, communication systems, control devices, actuators, etc.) and safety systems. The IEC 61508 functional safety personal qualification certificate can provide strong proof of your professional background and experience in the field of functional safety; from an enterprise perspective, you can clarify the work responsibilities in the safety lifecycle of personnel who have passed the examination and obtained the certificate.

• Understand all necessary processes in the safety lifecycle;
• Become familiar with the requirements of safety management and support processes, and technical requirements of the concept, system, hardware and software phases.

• Product design and development personnel, product managers, quality engineers, and personnel interested in this standard in industrial control electronics and electrical fields.

• Functional safety concepts
• Safety lifecycle (SLC)
• Overall safety integrity level SIL
• Hazard and risk analysis
