With an increasingly ‘connected’ world, most products now incorporate software capabilities, many controlling operational and safety functions. It is MANDATORY to assess software controlling safety features.
Right now, we are at the junction where software can have operational and safety functionality. This leads to new safety, quality and validation requirements which you might not have previously experienced.
An increasing number of products and their controls are now being constructed using software-based solutions and most standards now include software specific clauses which must be met.
Intertek can help you evaluate your procedures to ensure your product meets safety standards and check the special measures which control fault/error conditions. Our global network of software experts offer complete lifecycle support for manufacturers and are UKAS accredited assessors for IEC/EN 607030-1, IEC/EN 60355-1, IEC/EN 298, EN 54, EN 50271 and more.
Third party evaluation by an accredited testing company, such as Intertek, is required in order to comply with product legislation and directives. Third party evaluation is also required where a product requires certification.
