UL Certified Functional Safety Professional in Agriculture and Construction Machinery

Categories Safety Relevant Development , Automotive Functional Safety Professional

General Information
Code
UL13
Duration
4 Days

This 2.5-day technical training course will cover functional safety standards and concepts related to earth moving machinery.Appliable standards covered in this training include the EU Machinery Directive, ISO 13849, Safety of Machinery – Safety-related parts of control systems, and ISO 25119:2018, Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry – Safety-related parts of control systems.

UL experts will cover such topics as hazard identification and risk assessment in accordance with ISO 12100:2010, Safety of Machinery – General principles for design – Risk assessment and risk reduction. Case studies on a range oftopics, including motor drives and safety product life cycles, will also be used to provide examples of how the requirements andconcepts of the standards are applied.

Upon successful completion of this workshop, you will be able to:

  • identify the required risk reduction and functional safety ratings (PL and AgPL) to be provided by control systems.
  • develop a safety concept that satisfies the requirements of both ISO 13849 and ISO 25119.
  • apply the steps required by both ISO 13849 and ISO 25119 to achieve the required risk reduction and validate it.

Examination

Participants who complete all 2.5 days of training are eligible to take a two-hour certification exam in the afternoon of the third day.

Those who pass the exam are individually certified as a UL-Certified Functional Safety Professional (UL-CFSP) in Agricultural Machinery.Upon the successful completion of the UL-CFSP exam, participants will receive a certificate and badge that they can use to demonstrate their competence in agricultural machinery functional safety.

The certification is valid for three years, after which individuals may recertify.
