CASS Assessors

Registration Scheme for Functional Safety Assessors

The CASS Registered Functional Safety Assessor scheme is a registration scheme for experienced functional safety assessors who use the CASS methodology. A candidate for the scheme requires a referee and proposer to vouch for their competence. Registration is based on a peer review of the assessors's knowledge and experience in their claimed scope and is not a personnel competence certification scheme.

How the CASS Registered Functional Safety Assessor scheme works:

• Candidates provide evidence of their assessor competence in their particular scope which is evaluated by a panel of other qualified practitioners.
• CASS maintains and publishes a register of functional safety assessors (RFSAs) who have met the registration requirements.
• RFSAs are permitted to use the 'CASS Mark' (which includes their personal ID) on their assessment reports.
• The CASS Scheme Association does not view or accept responsibility for any assessment report.
• Registration is optional - the existing use of CASS is unchanged (i.e. without the 'CASS Mark').

The CASS Register Functional Safety Assessor scheme uses a model to consider five layers of an applicants knowledge and experience. The scheme manual defines requirements for the application and evaluation process. The applicant will require a proposer and a referee. The five layers are:

• Layer-1: Basic academic and professional qualifications
• Layer-2: Structured / formal Functional Safety (FS) training and self-learning
• Layer-3: FS practitioner experience (specificed scope)
• Layer-4: FS assessor experience (specified scope)
• Layer-5: Knowledge of CASS methodology
