UL Certified Functional Safety Professional Training in Machinery

Categories Safety Relevant Development , Automotive Functional Safety Professional

General Information
Code
UL12
Duration
2 Days

This functional safety training course is for engineers working on programmable machinery and control systems.

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.

    • Failures to be considered and fault exclusion
    • Introduction of quantitative analysis techniques(simplifed procedure)
    • Evaluation of performance level
    • Software safety requirements
    • Software-based parameterization
    • Combination of SRP/CS to achieve PL
  • Design in accordance with IEC 62061 (consideringoverlaps with ISO 13849)
    • SIL assignment

    • 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

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

  • 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.
Target audience
  • Hardware/firmware designers
  • Development managers
  • Project and product leaders
  • Compliance engineers
  • Design and manufacturing engineers
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 in Machinery, or UL-CFSP.

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