Assessment of Functional Safety
This Sounder is intended for use in a safety system conforming to the requirements of IEC61508.
S
Sira Test & certification Ltd has conducted a Failure Modes Effect and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA)
of the DC version of DB3 Sounder against the requirements of IEC 61508-2 using a Proof Test
Interval of 8760hrs.
The DC version of the Beacon was considered to be the worst case. The results are shown below and
are based on Route 2
Proven in use (PIU) of IEC61508-2.
