Health and Safety Panel: The use of software and the programmable safety - how do latest standards deal with this, and what are the benefits?

Functional safety depends not only on selecting the right function in the first place and associated components, but increasingly on the use of software and software configurable components and networks. There are clear benefits to OEMs and End Users, but what issues are faced by the person(s) responsible for implementing safety functions and what do they need to do? Our panel will discuss these issues and answer any questions you may have.
