Pyro Electric Achieves IEC 61508 SIL Certification for RTD and Thermocouple Series 100–900
Pyro Electric, based in Goa, India, has achieved IEC 61508 Proven-in-Use SIL certification for its RTD and Thermocouple product series 100–900 — independently certified by Risknowlogy.
Certification Achieved
The certification covers Pyro Electric's temperature sensing product lines, qualifying them for use in safety instrumented functions where SIL compliance is required by the end-user's safety case.
The Proven-in-Use route confirms that the products have demonstrated reliable safety performance in the field — and that this evidence has been independently assessed and documented in accordance with IEC 61508.
Standard: IEC 61508 — Proven-in-Use (PIU) certification route. Products: RTD and Thermocouple Series 100–900.
What Proven-in-Use Certification Means
Proven-in-Use certification is a rigorous, evidence-based route under IEC 61508. It requires demonstrating that a product has sufficient operational history — with documented failure data, failure mode analysis, and appropriate safety claims — to justify its use in safety-critical applications.
For end-users and system integrators, PIU certification reduces the burden of justification during SIL verification and provides auditable evidence of safety compliance.
