Certification partnership
Tuesday, 04 May, 2004
Sira and the Toshiba Corporation's Industrial and Power Systems & Services Company in Tokyo have entered an agreement which will extend Sira's IEC 61508 certification capability into South-East Asia.
Under the terms of this agreement, Toshiba will act as Sira's business associate, carrying out assessments of clients and their products for compliance with the requirements of IEC 61508 on Sira's behalf, initially in Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan. Sira will be responsible for issuing the resulting certificates and ensuring that the activities of its associates continue to meet Sira's high standards. The result of this new partnership will be to provide companies with an easy and cost-effective route to IEC 61508 certification. Manufacturers, designers, installers and users across sectors such as process, transport, energy and environmental can be confident in obtaining a practical and commercial approach to compliance with this new alliance in South-East Asia.
