Functional Safety for the Water Sector

Raising the Bar on Water Sector Resilience

As water systems become increasingly digital and interconnected, the risks associated with software, sensors, and automated control systems are growing. From treatment plants to monitoring networks, a structured approach to functional safety is critical to ensuring continued reliability, performance, and public trust.

HORIBA applies proven safety engineering methodologies – including IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 – to help water companies:

• Proactively assess and reduce systematic risks
• Enable innovation while maintaining operational assurance
• Identify hidden vulnerabilities in both legacy and modern infrastructure
  
  

With decades of experience delivering functional safety programmes in the automotive, industrial, and defence sectors, we provide tailored support for the water industry’s most complex challenges.
