If ISO 13849 and Performance Levels have ever felt more opaque than they should, this session is built to make them practical. In one focused virtual meetup, you’ll get a clearer understanding of what PL means, why it matters in machine safety, and how to talk about it with more confidence in real engineering and compliance conversations. This is a useful space for people who want more than definitions. Whether you’re trying to connect the standard to design decisions, risk reduction goals, or documentation work, the goal here is to help you leave with a sharper mental model and a more usable grasp of the topic.
