ISO 13849 Consulting
Find out the the solutions for Performance Level verification and validation
We provide a highly specialized Performance Level verification and validation service in conformity with the requirements of the ISO 13849-1 and ISO 13849-2 standards.
The ISO 13849 standard is the legislative reference divided into two parts for Performance Level verification and validation of safety-related parts of control systems. We offer complete support in verifying and assessing conformity with the ISO 13849-1 standard, from defining the safety function to the selection of components and corresponding support for verification via PL calculation.
With ISO 13849-1, we check whether the system design follows the mandatory provisions and, upon completion, we validate its safety functions using low-level assessment and functional testing, as indicated by the ISO 13849-2 standard.
We also take care of validating the PL in conformity with Part 2, ISO 13849-2, carrying out document checks and failure mode functional testing both for hardware and application software.
The support includes coverage of all the necessary steps:
- Establishing the required PL
- Defining the requirements
- Drawing up the Validation Plan
- Functional testing and drawing up the test report
- Drawing up contracts for the inspection and maintenance specifications
The consulting service for Performance Level verification and validation according to ISO 13849 presents as the most suitable in terms of detailed technical skills, thanks to the professional experience of our pool of specialists in all the design phases, including identifying which components to use.

ISO 13849 Training
On-the-job training on the requirements for safety-related parts of control systems
The goal of the IEC 13849 standard training is to support the roles responsible for designing equipment in acquiring key skills regarding the requirements for safety-related parts of control systems.
Knowledge of both parts of the standard, ISO 13849-1 and ISO 13849-2, is essential for Performance Level verification and validation required for the safety functions, the malfunctioning of which would compromise the safety of people or the infrastructure itself.
Both online and in-person training days can be organized based on what is needed and the number of participants.
The training program develops on the job, as it theoretically and practically follows company roles through the entire Performance Level (PLr) verification and validation process according to the machine safety standards.
In fact, the training plan goes into depth on the ISO 13849 standard and the corresponding standards applicable to the product to obtain the required PLr, with the purpose of training personnel through a technical-operational approach.
Training sessions are given by TÜV Rheinland-certified training specialists with longstanding theoretical and operating experience in the functional safety field and cover the following modules:
- IEC 61508 and ISO 13849
- Purpose and field of application
- References with the Machinery Directive
- Risk reduction strategy and references with ISO 12100:2010
- Determining the required PL
- Assessing the PL obtained by an SRP/CS
- SRP/CS hardware categories and MTTFD, DC, CCF concepts
- Software safety requirements
The skills acquired can be used to immediately manage these issues within your organization. The participation is proved by the certificate of attendance.
Get in touch with us to acquire the right skills on functional safety.

ISO 13849-2 deals with the subsequent phase regarding validation of the created SRP/Cs and indicates how to conduct assessments and testing to validate the system.
- Defining a validation plan that includes all the pertinent documentation regarding the assessments and functional testing that must be conducted
- Validation via assessment, that is, low-level assessment on all applicable requirements
- Conducting functional testing, only if established in the validation plan and only mandatory for function categories that base their reliability on redundancy (or fault tolerance), classified as PLr category from 2 to 4
