Raise your functional safety competence to expert level

Pilz has announced a new qualification – Certified Expert in Functional Safety. With this new CEFS qualification you gain expert knowledge on the functional safety of machinery, which you can put into practice immediately.

The qualification provides a wealth of knowledge on the relevant standards, EN ISO 13849 and EN IEC 62061, and takes a practical look at how complex safety systems are put together. CEFS is aimed at people with prior knowledge of functional safety.

After successfully completing the qualification, you will be able to create and evaluate safety systems yourself, from design and verification through to implementation and validation. CEFS includes a range of practical coursework, in which you can learn about specific issues within an application.

Starting with the basics of safety control systems, the CEFS qualification covers all design aspects, such as circuit architectures or the prevention and control of systematic failures, for example. Then you will create a validation plan and protocol, for example, as part of your practical coursework. Finally, the course covers the requirements of a functional safety management system and its implementation within companies.
