Following this assessment, EN 13849-1 can be used to show compliance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.

We can work alongside your design / engineering team to: Determine the performance level required (PLr) for

each safety function Assist with design and technical realisation of the

safety function Evaluate the performance level considering category,

MTTFd, diagnostic coverage (DC) and common cause failures (CCF)

Complete validation to demonstrate that the combination of SRP/CS providing each safety function meets all relevant requirements
