FlowVision FS Series Achieves SIL 2 Certification Under IEC 61508
FlowVision, a German manufacturer of flow sensors, has achieved SIL 2 certification for its FS Series under IEC 61508 — independently certified by Risknowlogy and ready for use in safety instrumented functions.
A Significant Milestone
SIL 2 certification marks a significant milestone for any product manufacturer. It demonstrates that the product's functional safety performance has been independently assessed, that the evidence base is documented to the standard required by IEC 61508, and that the claimed SIL capability is technically justified.
SIL level: SIL 2. Standard: IEC 61508. Product: FlowVision FS Series flow sensors.
What SIL 2 Certification Means for Integrators
For system integrators and process safety engineers designing SIS, independently certified flow sensors reduce the evidence burden during SIL verification. The FS Series certification provides auditable safety data that can be directly incorporated into the safety case — without the need to compile or justify additional evidence.
