What does the Failure Investigation and ISO 13849 Self-Assessment Kit include?
The Failure Investigation and ISO 13849 Self-Assessment Kit includes 247 structured assessment questions across six maturity domains, a full ISO 13849-1:2023 compliance matrix, five Excel templates for root cause analysis and corrective action tracking, policy samples, a scoring model with benchmarking tiers, and a remediation roadmap generator. All materials are delivered as an instant digital download in editable formats (DOCX, XLSX, PDF) totaling 128 pages of implementation-ready content.
Are you failing to meet ISO 13485 or FDA audit requirements due to incomplete failure investigations? Are your current root cause analyses taking too long, missing critical gaps, or leading to repeat non-conformances? The Failure Investigation and ISO 13849 Self-Assessment Kit gives you immediate access to a complete, structured framework that ensures every failure is investigated thoroughly, consistently, and in full alignment with ISO 13849-1:2023 and functional safety standards. Without a rigorous process, your organisation risks regulatory sanctions, product recalls, and loss of certification, this toolkit eliminates those risks by providing the exact questions, checklists, and evaluation criteria safety and compliance professionals rely on to pass audits and prevent recurrence.
What You Receive
- 247 prioritised self-assessment questions across 6 maturity domains (Initiation, Root Cause Analysis, Evidence Collection, Corrective Action, Verification, Reporting) , enabling you to audit your current failure investigation process in under 90 minutes and identify high-risk gaps immediately
- Comprehensive ISO 13849-1:2023 compliance matrix mapping each requirement to functional safety performance levels (PLr, PL a, e), validation methods, and diagnostic coverage , so you can verify that safety-related control systems meet legal and technical specifications
- Five ready-to-use Excel templates: Failure Investigation Form, Root Cause Decision Tree (5-Why, Fishbone, FMEA crosswalk), Corrective Action Tracker, Audit Response Log, and Management Review Summary , all fully editable and designed for immediate deployment in regulated environments
- Scoring engine with benchmarking thresholds that categorise your process maturity as Initial, Managed, Defined, Quantitatively Controlled, or Optimised , allowing you to demonstrate improvement over time and justify resource requests
- Remediation roadmap generator that prioritises actions based on risk severity, compliance urgency, and cost impact , helping you close audit findings faster and avoid repeat incidents
- Policy and procedure samples compliant with ISO 13849, IEC 62061, and ISO 14119 , accelerate documentation development for internal quality systems or third-party certification audits
- Instant digital download in ZIP format containing 128 pages of structured content: 78 assessment criteria, 36 process workflows, 14 policy templates, and 5 executive briefing slides for governance reporting
How This Helps You
Every unstructured failure investigation increases your exposure to regulatory penalties, design flaws, and unsafe machinery deployments. With this Self-Assessment Kit, you transform reactive troubleshooting into a proactive, evidence-based programme that aligns with global functional safety standards. You’ll reduce investigation cycle times by up to 60%, ensure all corrective actions are validated before closure, and produce auditable records that satisfy TÜV, Notified Bodies, and internal quality auditors. More importantly, you prevent recurrence of hazardous failures in safety-related control systems , a critical requirement under Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and OSHA process safety management. Organisations that skip formal assessments risk approving ineffective fixes, wasting engineering resources, and compromising worker safety. This kit ensures your investigations are not just documented, but defensible.
Who Is This For?
- Safety Engineers and Functional Safety Managers implementing ISO 13849-1 in industrial machinery, robotics, or automation systems
- Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs professionals preparing for ISO 13485, CE marking, or FDA 21 CFR Part 820 audits
- Compliance Officers needing to standardise failure investigation protocols across global sites
- Reliability Engineers and Maintenance Leads responsible for fault diagnosis and preventive action planning
- Project Managers overseeing safety system integration who must validate PL and SIL claims
- Internal Auditors seeking an objective benchmark to assess investigation quality and compliance depth
Purchasing the Failure Investigation and ISO 13849 Self-Assessment Kit isn’t an expense, it’s a risk mitigation strategy that pays for itself the first time it prevents a failed audit or stops a faulty machine from reaching production. Equip your team with the same rigorous methodology used by leading OEMs and certified assessors.
