Risk Assessment

If your company has not yet established a risk assessment process and model IMR2 can assist with providing guidence to a process that is based on existing standards.

One of the keys to establishing this process is to ensure that it does not result in creating un-necessary high risk results, but still be framed on established standards.

Once established this process should remain frozen and used for all product risk assessments in order to maintain consistency.

13849 Compliance Review

As part of the 13849 requirements the Interlock under review must be analyzed to determine the performance level required.

This will define how the actual hardware interlock circuit must be designed and the reliability of the components chosen.

Once the circuit is designed then there must be a review to prove that the performance level achieved meets or exceeds the performance level required.

IMR2 can assist with this entire process including creating reports that determine the performance level achieved.

Component Selection

IMR2 can also assist with selecting the proper safety related components.
