New technologies and the increasing number of functions within products mean that manufacturers have to develop more and more safety-relevant systems. This not only leads to an in-crease in the number of electronic components - the components and systems themselves are more complex and requirements as to their safety are becoming more stringent. Safety standard IEC 61508 stipulates that organizations must ensure that persons entrusted with tasks related to functional safety have a sufficient level of competence and also that they are suitably qualified. Since the publication of IEC 61508, therefore, employers have been urgently seeking trained and qualified personnel who can demonstrate their competence and professionalism.
