Course Details

Course Introduction:

Based on years of practical experience in the field of Functional Safety and participation in relevant standardization committees we impart you with the required knowledge relating to the existing IEC 61508/61511 standard for safety-relevant electrical / electronic systems.

This Training provide detailed information and example / discussion for understanding and mastering the requirements of IEC61508 / IEC61511 functional safety. Evening study time and problem solving is recommended. The course is designed as per the latest standard for Functional safety IEC 61508 and the latest standard for IEC 61511, The program is included with lots of practice and exercise sessions which are very much useful for your better understanding and implementation level at your work
