"Some companies in our industry claim to have IEC 61508 compliant products. In fact they have only had an assessment done on a single product, not on their company's processes to design and produce that product. This is a severe shortcut, and certainly not in keeping with the intention of the standard. We are proud to be the first to complete assessment of our entire design and manufacturing processes for instrumentation hardware."

- Leonard Moore, Founder and CEO
Moore Industries-International, Inc.

Moore Industries is in the process of developing new interface instruments, such as intelligent temperature transmitters, that are designed to IEC 61508 requirements.

How Does IEC 61508 Benefit You?

	Enhance confidence in the safety of complex systems through the availability of an accredited certification system.
	Reduce procurement costs by avoiding reassessment on a product-by-product basis.
	Reduce long-term operational and capital costs by facilitating the use of a "building block" approach using certified components with recognized safety characteristics.

What is IEC 61508?

Safety standard IEC 61508 is quickly becoming a major deciding factor for purchasing process instrumentation for safety applications. This standard directs the processes used through the entire life cycle of a product, from the earliest stages of concept and design, through the manufacturing and final decommissioning of the product. IEC 61508 provides industry with an effective means to quantify process risk and offers direction for proper design and manufacturing.
