Functional Safety
Functional safety is essential for modern industrial plants—it protects people, machinery, and the environment while ensuring stable, cost-effective operation.
As an experienced systems integrator, gefeba develops comprehensive safety solutions. Our certified safety specialists support projects throughout their entire lifecycle—from risk assessment to validated safety functions.
Skills
Early in the project, we analyze potential hazards in accordance with DIN EN ISO 12100. From this analysis, we derive specific safety requirements and lay the foundation for a safety concept that complies with the standard.
Based on these analyses, customized safety concepts are developed that comply with both the operational framework and relevant standards such as DIN EN ISO 13849 or DIN EN 62061. The subsequent development of the safety design focuses on high system availability, intuitive operability, and a future-proof architecture.
gefeba also handles all CE documentation in accordance with the EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC —comprehensive, transparent, and legally compliant. Our safety experts ensure that all safety-related documentation is clearly traceable, well-structured, and understandable to both regulatory authorities and operators alike. In the final step, we validate all safety functions, verify their effectiveness in real-world operation, and thereby ensure maximum system reliability.
Whether it’s new installations, retrofits, or targeted modifications, gefeba seamlessly integrates safety solutions into existing processes and control architectures. From selecting suitable components through structured integration to final acceptance, we work without compromise, in compliance with standards, transparently, and with a customer-focused approach. The result is systems that not only provide reliable protection but also remain easy to maintain and expandable over the long term.
