Process instrumentation supplier MTL is now certified as an FSM company. The International standard IEC 61508:2010 mandates that everyone involved in the safety systems lifecycle must demonstrate effective FSM capability.
Assessed through an external certifying body (SIRA), MTL has demonstrated its competence to design and market products in accordance to the standard. This gives customers an assurance to use MTL products in safety instrumented systems (SIS) without the need for further verification of documentation.
MTL’s FSM is certified to cover a range of signal interfaces, IS barriers, isolators, fieldbus instruments, alarm systems, communication devices and instrument power supplies. MTL continues to expand its FSM product offering with the latest additions that include the MTL4500 and MTL5500 series isolators, which can now be used in functional safety applications. Alongside this, the previously introduced MTL4850 Hart multiplexer can now be used for connection to instrument loops performing safety functions up to and including SIL3.
MTL currently shares its knowledge and expertise on hazardous areas and the relevant standards with its ATEX and Flammable Facts pocket posters. Following this accreditation MTL complements this with a Functional Safety poster that provides detailed information about the concepts of FSM and the standards that demand it.
