Services
The IEC 61508, IEC 61511, ANSI/ISA 84.00.01, IEC 62061 and ISO 13849-1 standards are becoming more and more widespread in their international application. Today they are relevant to authorities, insurance companies and businesses because they are considered to represent “Best Engineering Practice”. But more often than not, people are unsure how to apply them. Partnering with HIMA, you will get to know the demands and benefits of these standards. We can help you put them in place in a practical and efficient way.
Hazards and risks analysis
HIMA’s Safety consulting experts can assist with hazards and risks analyses. They use technologies such as HAZOP, Check lists, What-if, FTA and ETA. We will ensure that your analyses are documented completely and correctly, and that they fulfill your safety requirements.
Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Analyses
SILs must be defined as a part of Functional Safety Management in order to provide proper protection for your employees, the environment and your investments. Working with HIMA’s safety consulting experts you can draw up a risk matrix, risk graphs and Layers of Protection Analyses (LOPAs) in order to determine which SIL applies to you.
System design and integration
HIMA can assist you in the design of your safety architecture – from its sensors, to its control level, all the way to its actuators. This helps you to avoid solutions that are too small or too large for your application. We will also help you to integrate complete systems and choose components.
Functional Safety Management (FSM)
FSM ensures that the right processes are used to establish Functional Safety. HIMA is one of only a handful of companies in the world which is certified by TÜV for FSM. Our experience helps our customers to keep their safety processes up to date and to satisfy the latest standards.
Assessing operation, maintenance and repair procedures
The operation, maintenance and repair of your safety systems must be performed correctly if you are to fulfil the requirements of Functional Safety. HIMA can perform the necessary tests and ensure that the processes you are using are simple and effective.
