I would like to obtain a TUV functional safety engineer certificate; could experts please offer some advice?

Go to the Beijing Machinery Industry Instrumentation Comprehensive Technology and Economics Research Institute to attend training and obtain certification

This training usually lasts about four days, with half of that time dedicated to exams. You can contact TÜV Rheinland China; they are the most authentic authorities for TÜV certification and training. Of course, if you use SIS on-site, you can also contact the SIS manufacturer; they usually provide certification training and exams in this area, as they generally have TUV FS experts. However, the exam papers must be submitted to TUV Rheinland’s headquarters in Germany, who will then issue you a certification certificate based on your scores.

Should I answer the questions in Chinese or in English during the exam?

Is the pass rate high? How many of us have obtained the certificate so far

The test paper is in both Chinese and English; candidates can answer in either language, though most Chinese people choose to answer in Chinese. For the 40 multiple-choice questions, 24 correct answers are required (24 points), and for the 20 short-answer questions, 14 correct answers are necessary (14 points)

The pass rate is quite high; it’s a closed-book exam that lasts 4 hours, and most people need 3–3.5 hours to complete it

For the 40 multiple-choice questions, 25 questions must be answered correctly (25 points)

Is it possible to take the exam only without attending the training? ?

Currently, organizations such as TÜV, CCPS, and e*da are providing functional safety certification services. Changhui Instruments will provide a brief overview of the certification process for functional safety engineers as well as the relevant requirements. 1. TÜV process safety certification (including TÜV Rheinland, North Germany, etc.). The approval process for design qualifications by TÜV Rheinland is as follows (the validity period of the FS Eng (TÜV Rheinland) certificate is 5 years): http://yunrun.com.cn/upload/201902/18/201902181441149911.png 2. CCPS process safety certification. The steps involved in the professional CCPS process safety certification process are as follows: As part of a rigorous review process, applicants for safety engineer qualifications must submit an online application and provide three references. CCPS will evaluate the applicant’s experience to ensure that the applicant meets the qualifications for CCPS Process Safety Professional Certification (CCPSC). yunrun.com.cn/news/2374.html Eligibility criteria for the CCPS Process Safety Professional Certification ◆ The applicant’s educational background ◆ The applicant’s relevant experience in process safety ◆ The applicant’s contributions to the continuous development of process safety ◆ Professional references that attest to the applicant’s professional achievements Examination date for the CCPS Process Safety Professional Certification Once this evaluation is successfully completed, the applicant will be approved to take the certification exam. If the applicant is not approved, they will receive a notification and can apply in the future once they have acquired additional process safety experience. When the applicant is approved to take the exam, the applicant selects a date and prepares for the exam. There are three examination periods each year, allowing applicants to choose the one that best fits their schedule (and giving them time to prepare). Exam dates: March 11 to March 18, 2019; July 8 to July 15, 2019; November 4 to November 11, 2019. The CCPS Process Safety Certification (CCPSC) exam is available online. It must be completed within 4 hours after the exam starts. You can start the exam at any time during the examination period. Study materials for the CCPS Process Safety Professional Certification Exam. The CCPSC plans to adopt a risk-based process safety framework; moreover, process safety is a highly technical engineering discipline, so candidates’ technical experience will play an important role in the exam. Therefore, it is difficult to provide a comprehensive reading list. To help applicants get prepared, please start with the resources below. ◆RBPS Guidelines ◆ Risk-based Process Safety Guidelines ◆ Process Safety Webinars ◆ Online Process Safety Courses ◆ Public Courses 3. e*da Process Safety Certification The concept of CFSE/CFSP (Certified Functional Safety Experts and Professionals) was initially developed by engineers from TÜV SÜD and e*da, with the support of other international safety experts, to ensure that those responsible for carrying out SIS lifecycle activities meet the requirements of the IEC 61508, 61511, and 62061 standards. The program is now managed by e*da, and the certificates are issued by e*da. Qualification requirements for applicants under CFSE: ◆ 10 years of equivalent experience (adjusted based on educational level), with a strong emphasis on safety awareness. ◆ Submission of a case study to demonstrate the applicant’s knowledge and safety experience. ◆ A score of >80% in an exam consisting of multiple-choice questions, short-answer questions, and case study scenarios. ◆ 2 years of equivalent experience (adjusted based on educational level), with a strong emphasis on safety awareness. ◆ No case study is required. ◆ A score of >80% in a single-phase exam comprising multiple-choice questions and short-answer questions. Exam location and date for CFSE: Qingdao, China, February 22, 2019
