According to Sira, the IEC 61508 functional safety standard provides the assurance that the safety-related systems will offer the necessary risk reduction required to achieve safety for the equipment.

According to Sira, the IEC 61508
functional safety standard 'provides
the assurance that the safety-related
systems will offer the necessary risk
reduction required to achieve safety
for the equipment'.
The EN50402 (Electrical apparatus for the detection and measurement of combustible or toxic gases or vapours or of oxygen. Requirements on the functional safety of fixed gas detection systems) takes the general requirements of IEC 61508 and extends them by applying them specifically to gas detection equipment.
Ultra-compact, IRmax is designed to detect methane gas and other potentially explosive hydrocarbons.
