About this event

A live 30-minute expert session on Calculating Required Performance Level (PLr) (ISO 13849).

What We'll Cover:

  • What Calculating Required Performance Level (PLr) is and where it sits in the ISO 13849 safety framework
  • The core method, step by step, with the decisions that matter
  • How it maps to ISO 13849 and the artifacts it produces
  • Common mistakes that get findings raised in assessment
  • The traceability and evidence an auditor looks for
