About this event
If you work with functional safety, you already know that a weak Safety Requirements Specification can create confusion, rework, and risk across an entire project. This online session focuses on IEC 61508 and the SRS in a practical, discussion-friendly format, so you can sharpen your understanding of what a strong specification needs to do and how to think more clearly about it. About the Event This event is a virtual meetup centered on IEC 61508: The Safety Requirements Specification (SRS). It is designed for people who want a clearer, more usable grasp of one of the most important documents in the functional safety lifecycle. Rather than treating the SRS as a box to check, this gathering looks at it as a working tool: something that connects hazard analysis, design intent, verification,
Who should attend
This is for people who want a sharper, more practical understanding of the Safety Requirements Specification and how it functions within IEC 61508. - You work in **functional safety, systems, controls, software, hardware, or compliance** and want to understand how SRS quality affects the rest of the lifecycle. - You are responsible for **writing, reviewing, approving, or using safety requirements** and want clearer thinking about what makes them complete, usable, and verifiable. - You are part of a team where **safety documentation crosses disciplines**, and you want to communicate better with colleagues in engineering, assurance, validation, or operations. - You are **learning IEC 61508** and want a focused entry point into one of its most important practical artifacts. - You already have experience with safety standards and want to **compare approaches, test your assumptions, and learn from peers** in a community setting. - You value events that combine **technical discussion with networking**, especially when the topic is specific enough to be immediately relevant to your work.
