Functional safety engineering support

Structured support for IEC 61508, ISO 13849, and related frameworks — hazard analysis, safety requirements, architecture advice, and evidence packs that stand up to assessment.

Built for teams shipping hardware

Safety integrity, not guesswork

Define required SIL/PL from real risk reduction needs.

Hardware and software together

Avoid treating firmware as an afterthought to the safety case.

Assessment-ready evidence

Organize arguments and artifacts assessors expect to see.

Standards & pathways we support

We do not list every acronym for show. These are the frameworks this service typically engages — scoped to your product after a short intake.

IEC 61508

Generic functional safety for E/E/PE systems.

ISO 13849

Safety-related parts of control systems — PL approach.

IEC 62061

Functional safety of safety-related control systems.

ISO 26262 (select)

Automotive FS engagements where in scope.

FMEDA / reliability

Diagnostic coverage and failure metric support.

Safety manuals

Integration guidance for safety components.

A clear path from intake to mark

Scope

Product, markets, and claims — we define what must be true to sell legally.

Gap analysis

Design, labeling, and evidence gaps before you spend on formal testing.

Test & remediate

Lab coordination, failure triage, and efficient retest planning.

File & maintain

Documentation pack, declarations, and change-control advice.

What you leave with

  • Hazard & risk analysis facilitation
  • Safety requirements specification support
  • Architecture and SIL/PL feasibility review
  • Verification & validation planning
  • Assessment readiness package

Common questions

Can you certify our SIL level?

Independent assessment is typically done by a qualified assessor/body. We prepare the engineering case and close gaps before that review.

Is functional safety only for factories?

No — medical, energy, robotics, and process industries all use FS frameworks when harm depends on control systems.

How does this relate to CE Machinery?

Machinery risk assessment and FS of control systems often travel together. We align both tracks.
