Functional Safety

An increasing number of countries is still more demanding higher security standards of people, equipment and environment, which can only be complied with by the latest state-of-the-art technology.

SIL (safety integrity level) is based on the international standards IEC 61508 / 61511, it is regarded as a standard of functional safety and desribes the type of risk assessment as well as procedures for integrating certain safety functions into sensors and plants.

In response to the increasing importance of these international security standards, BD|SENSORS has with SIL certification completed the next step in the development of its highly successful industrial pressure transmitters. Within the SIL conformity declaration, BD|SENSORS declares that its products have been examined conforming to IEC 61508 / 61511 and thus proves the high quality of its pressure transmitters.
