Overview of ISO 13849/IEC 62061 training

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

The standards covered in this course include:

Icon of a robotic arm
ISO 13849 (Safety of Machinery – Safety-Related Parts of Control Systems)
Icon of 3 squares traveling along 3 parallel lines
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 lifecycles, 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.

 

 

We are now offering private certification training for up to 10 people for $10,000 USD, including exam fees.

Take advantage now through the end of 2024! Contact us for more details.
