Conformity Assessment of Safety-related SystemsAbout The CASS Scheme
CASS (Conformity Assessment of Safety-related Systems) is a methodology developed by industry for industry. The CASS methodology enables all sectors of industry to show compliance that can ultimately lead to accredited certification with IEC 61508, the international standard for functional safety of safety-related systems.
The CASS Scheme provides a rigorous and internationally acceptable structure under which consistent certification of safety related systems can take place. The scheme is operated through independent third-party certification bodies, that are accredited to the European and International accreditation standards.
The not-for-profit company is managed by a Board elected by the members who are associations representing manufacturers, designers, installers, users, certifiers or regulators of safety related systems. CASS covers all industry sectors including process, aerospace and transport.
