“BENEFIT FROM OUR EXPERIENCE, WE WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE MOST COMPLEX ISSUES OF YOUR PROJECTS”


Our History


exida was founded in 1999 by Dr. William Goble (USA) and Mr. Rainer Faller (Germany). Goble and Faller are among the leading authorities in the field of Functional Safety.

They identified the growing need for companies operating in the safety domain to become more knowledgeable about the requirements for safety related applications.

exida has evolved over the years, from having two offices in the USA and Germany respectively, to develop an entire global support network.

exida provides qualified customers with certification for several functional safety and security standards, such as IEC 61508, IEC 61511, ISO 26262, ISO 13849, IEC 62061, and the ISA Security Compliance Institute (ISCI). We have certified more process safety devices for IEC 61508 than any other agency worldwide.

exida's engineers participate and have voting rights on the IEC and ISA committees and regularly speak at leading industry conferences. As a result of this involvement in key safety committees, exida is at the forefront of the industry in the development of training programs, tools, and knowledge resources to help you better understand and measurably improve the safety, security, and reliability of your processes and automation systems.
