An Authoritative International Endorsement

Rock-Solid Safety, Benchmarked Internationally!

TÜV Nord is one of the world's leading independent third-party certification bodies, recognized as an EU Notified Body and a benchmark in industrial safety. Its certifications are known for rigorous, full-lifecycle audits and zero-compromise standards.

SIL (Safety Integrity Level) certification represents the highest standard for industrial functional safety under IEC 61508, spanning four levels from SIL1 to SIL4. SIL3 is the highest level commonly required for high-risk industrial applications, corresponding to a dangerous failure probability as low as 0.01%–0.1%, and is a core entry requirement for Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) in petrochemical, power, and chemical industries.

This certification covered hardware reliability, software safety, functional safety management systems, environmental adaptability, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), among other comprehensive tests. After multiple rounds of rigorous review, both the 80GHz radar level meter and the clamp-on level switch achieved SIL3 certification — solid proof of SKE products' safety and reliability under extreme operating conditions, reinforcing a strong line of defense for industrial safety production.

Why Choose SIL-Certified Industrial Instruments First? Addressing Industry Pain Points, Delivering Real Value

01. SKE's Full Range of SIL2/SIL3 Certified Instruments — Precisely Solving Industry Safety Challenges

Today's industrial production strictly follows the principle of "safety first, prevention foremost," and functional-safety-rated instruments have become the mainstream choice across the industry.

Standard instruments can only perform basic data monitoring and cannot meet the strict requirements of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS). Once such equipment develops a safety fault, it can easily trigger a chain of risks — in severe cases leading to cascading failures or even major accidents.

02. Four Core Advantages of SKE's SIL-Certified Instruments

1. Extremely high reliability: low failure rate and high diagnostic coverage ensure safety functions remain continuously effective;

2. Compliance assurance: meets international standard requirements, helping companies pass safety assessments and regulatory audits smoothly;

3. Lower lifecycle costs: reduces unplanned downtime and improves production continuity;

4. Broad application coverage:

Suitable for high-risk industries such as hazardous chemicals, LNG, and pharmaceuticals, as well as key engineering projects that require guaranteed high availability.

03. Standard Instruments Only Measure — SIL-Certified Instruments Protect Lives and Safety

Choosing SKE's SIL2/SIL3-certified radar level meters and clamp-on level switches helps avoid production safety hazards, meet industry compliance requirements, stabilize production, and reduce losses — making them an essential safety choice for high-risk industrial settings.

Industry experts note that as China's Work Safety Law and related functional safety standards continue to be refined, SIL-certified instruments will become standard equipment in high-end process industries. This certification success not only opens broader international markets for SKE, but also sets a new benchmark for domestically made high-end instrumentation.

From Technological Innovation to Safety Leadership

From technological innovation to safety leadership

Using SIL Certification as a Springboard to Continuously Improve Technical Service Capabilities

SKE Electronics has been deeply engaged in level measurement and process control for many years, consistently upholding the development philosophy of "technology first, safety above all."

Our independently developed 80GHz radar level meter uses advanced FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) technology, offering strong penetration, excellent interference resistance, and high measurement accuracy. Even under harsh conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, strong corrosion, dust, and steam, it delivers stable, precise non-contact measurement, and is widely used in petrochemical, metallurgy, power, pharmaceutical, and water treatment industries.

The clamp-on level switch, meanwhile, is characterized by fast response, simple installation, and high cost-effectiveness, delivering outstanding performance in complex, high-risk, enclosed-vessel level monitoring applications.

Both product series have undergone rigorous environmental testing and long-term field verification. Their joint SIL certification from TÜV Nord further demonstrates SKE's deep expertise in hardware redundancy design, fault diagnosis mechanisms, and software safety lifecycle management — a direct reflection of the company's technical strength, and an international endorsement of its quality management system, R&D capability, and product reliability.

Safety first, steady progress far!

"Passing this certification is not the finish line, but a new starting point," said a SKE Electronics representative. "We will use this as an opportunity to continue increasing R&D investment and improving our technical service capabilities, bringing more products up to international functional safety standards, and providing customers with safer, smarter measurement solutions."

Notes:

*TÜV Nord Germany is a globally leading independent third-party inspection and certification body, known for its rigorous technical audits and independent assessments. Its SIL certificates are widely recognized as a "passport" in the field of industrial safety.

*The "gold standard" of functional safety certification: in industrial automation and process control, functional safety is a core requirement for ensuring production safety, personnel safety, and environmental protection.

SIL (Safety Integrity Level) is a functional safety rating defined by IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 standards of the International Electrotechnical Commission, with SIL3 being one of the highest commonly used safety levels in the process industry today. Achieving SIL2/SIL3 certification means the product strictly complies with the highest international safety standards throughout its entire design, development, verification, and manufacturing lifecycle, reliably performing safety functions under hazardous conditions and reducing failure-related risk to an acceptably low level.
