FlowVision FC50 Series Achieves SIL 2 Certification Under IEC 61508
The FlowVision FC50 Series has achieved SIL 2 certification under IEC 61508, independently certified by Risknowlogy — confirming its safety integrity for integration into safety instrumented functions.
Certification Achieved
FlowVision GmbH, a German manufacturer of flow sensors, has achieved SIL 2 certification for its FC50 Series. The independent certification confirms that the safety integrity level claimed for this product line is technically justified, documented, and auditable.
SIL 2 capability makes the FC50 Series suitable for use in process safety applications where medium-to-high risk reduction is required from the sensing element.
SIL level: SIL 2. Standard: IEC 61508. Product: FlowVision FC50 Series flow sensors.
What This Means for SIS Design
Independently certified flow sensors reduce the evidence burden for SIL verification. Engineers integrating the FC50 Series into their SIS can rely on certified safety data rather than compiling their own evidence base — saving time and reducing risk during safety lifecycle activities.
