The demand for functionally safe products for factory and manufacturing automation is growing continuously. As a result, the requirements for component manufacturers are also increasing. The standards to be complied with, such as IEC 61508, IEC 62061, IEC 61511 and ISO 13849 or EN 61800-5-2, are particularly challenging for newcomers. The standards influence the technical requirements of the product as well as the development process and the quality management system of the company.
