independent judgement

has been made on whether

or not

functional safety has been achieved



Due Diligence & Compliance

with good practice e.g. IEC 61508 and

IEC 61511



Improved

supply chain relationships

and supply chain cohesion as a result of the

provision of FSA reports to those other organizations implementing FSAs on the

end-to-end safety instrumented system



Open and transparent process

for supporting project personnel, in particular for

securing senior management involvement from both the supplier and client

perspective


