EMC for functional safety

For Managers, EMC Engineers, and Functional Safety Experts new to the issue of EMC for Functional Safety there is the ‘Introductory Manager’s Guide’, linked below.

The 2013 “Overview of techniques and measures related to EMC for Functional Safety” provides a non-exhaustive (but reasonably comprehensive) range of techniques and measures that can address the interfering effects of the electromagnetic (EM) disturbances that a safety-related system could experience over its complete lifecycle.  This is available as a download.

The 2008 Electromagnetic Compatibility for Functional Safety guidance is available as a downloadable Adobe Portable Document Format (pdf) file with a separate downloadable set of process charts and checklists. The latter may be adapted to suit particular sectors.

Nutwood UK Limited: http://www.emcacademy.org/books.asp is to make available for purchase a printed copy of the 2008 guidance.
