Implications from requirements of IEC 61508 for one’s own company and its processes are, however, quite significant. MESCO masters the complete route from the concept to the SIL certificate for safety-critical products with their “TÜV Functional Safety Engineers” in the fields of drive technology, process measurement technology and secure field bus communication in collaboration with the TÜV, a group of businesses that provide inspection and product certification services, and consultation for functionally safe developments.
Furthermore, MESCO is an accredited PROFIsafe Competence Center.
A tried and tested cooperation with TÜV Nord provides optimal response times and minimizes development risk by means of coordinated cooperation.
MESCO also collaborates with other organizations such as TÜV Rheinland, TÜV Süd, BGIA, etc.
Standardization
The following FS standards, among other things, are fulfilled by MESCO developments:
