Liaison C member
PDS forum was on the 1st of March 2019 approved as a liaison C member in the maintenance committee for IEC 61511.
The decision was unanimous by all countries involved in the committee. As it is now, PDS forum is along with ISA, the international Society of Automation the only liaison C members.
Being a liaison C member gives PDS forum formally the opportunity to give technical contribution to the IEC 61511 and to participate actively in the working group, maintenance team or project ream. Receiving this status also makes PDS forum more visible internationally.
In the initial state, PDS forum is being involved in commenting and improving the current version of IEC 61511. The work is coordinated by professor Mary Ann Lundteigen, at NTNU, one of the Norwegian representatives in the committee.
