GT Engineering is member of the Technical Committees of the following Standards: IEC 61508 series, IEC 61511-1, IEC 62061 and ISO 13849-1.
We support users in the reliability assessment of Safety and Production Systems. From a Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) study, we move to a Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) to a SIL allocation.
We can than help designing each Safety Instrumented System and calculate the Sil level reached.
We organise training on all the aspects of Functional Safety and we are lecturers on Functional Safety at Brescia University and at the Milan Polytechnic (School of industrial and Information Engineering).
