Functional safety is increasingly being used to reduce explosion risk in hazardous areas — but applying it correctly requires understanding how functional safety and explosion protection requirements work together.

For manufacturers, system designers and compliance teams, this directly influences:

• Explosion protection and certification strategy
• Safety function design and assessment
• Selection and application of appropriate standards
• Testing and technical documentation
• Product and system compliance

This webinar provides a practical, expert-led overview of functional safety in hazardous areas, including the role of IEC TS 60079-42 and how it relates to established functional safety standards.

What this webinar covers

• How functional safety can be applied to reduce explosion risk
• The role and requirements of IEC TS 60079-42
• Certification routes for simple and complex safety devices
• How IEC 61508, IEC 61511 and EN 50495 fit into the wider framework
• Key considerations for demonstrating compliance
• Practical implications for equipment manufacturers and system designer
