Solution
Functional Safety for Industrial Systems. Inside Polarion. Evidence-Ready by Design.
A safety case is only as current as the day it was assembled. Nextedy brings hazard analysis and SIL determination into Polarion — connected to verification through commissioning and every modification that follows, not rebuilt before each assessment.

Problem
The Core Question: How Many of Your System Requirements are Really Born from Risk?
General Safety-Critical Systems
30–60 %
High-Integrity Systems
60–80 %
Regulated IT/Automation Systems
40–70 %
Cybersecurity Requirements
80–100 %
In industrial systems, safety requirements are born the same way: hazards drive safety functions, safety functions carry a SIL, and every derived requirement must trace back to one — and forward to its verification.
The Work Exists. The Evidence Chain Is Fragile.
60–80% of requirements come from risk analyses, yet most organizations run them in separate spreadsheets, disconnected from requirements.
Risk, requirements and verification drift apart; traceability becomes manual; the functional safety assessment turns into a fire drill.
Solution
One Engineering Record. From Safety Function to Evidence.
Requirements, Risks, and Verification — One System.
Safety functions create requirements. Requirements need verification. When hazard analysis and FMEA live in the same system as both, the chain — hazard → safety function (SIL) → requirement → test → residual risk — is already linked, in one view. Traceability becomes a by-product of engineering: it’s a column the analyst already sees.
Eliminate exports and silos
Improve collaboration across safety, engineering, and V&V
Connect hazard analysis and FMEA directly to downstream work
Feels Like Excel. Behaves Like a Database.
Analysts think in rows. Assessors think in records. You shouldn’t have to choose. RISKSHEET gives your team the spreadsheet ergonomics they know — while every row is a live Polarion Work Item: traced, versioned, permission-controlled. Risk levels and SIL determination recalculate as you type; threshold colors surface the highest risks at a glance.
Reduce the learning curve
Manage large hazard analyses and detailed FMEAs efficiently
Get instant feedback from live calculations and evaluations
Every Analysis. One Record. Your Interpretation.
The tool doesn’t prescribe your process — the template does. Run hazard analysis and PHA, FMEA and FMEDA, HAZOP, and SIL verification as connected sheets over the same live Polarion data. IEC 61508 sits underneath; its sector standards sit on top — IEC 62061 and ISO 13849 for machinery, EN 5012x for rail, IEC 61511 for process, IEC 61513 for nuclear. Configure fields, scales, SIL logic and workflows to how your organization reads the standard.
Start from best-practice templates
Adapt fields, logic, and workflows to your process
Drive consistency across teams and programs
A Risk Isn’t Closed When It’s Rated.
It’s closed when its safety function, requirement, verification, and residual risk are connected. In RISKSHEET, a safety measure becomes a live Polarion work item with an owner, a workflow state, and a due date — its status mirrored back into the sheet. Reviews and approvals run on your existing Polarion workflows; every change writes itself into the audit trail.
Configure review and approval flows
Trigger notifications automatically
Maintain a clear audit trail for every change
Not “Analysis Once.” Evidence That Survives Change.
Safety evidence is a lifecycle obligation: it must stay maintained as the product changes — through design iterations, variants, field returns, and in-service findings. Baseline at every milestone, compare revisions, and see exactly which hazards, requirements, and verifications a change touches.
Baseline assessments at key milestones
Compare revisions and identify deltas instantly
Support change impact analysis with confidence
The Safety Case — Generated, Not Assembled.
Your safety case should be read from maintained engineering data — not reconstructed before the assessment. Generate work products, hazard analyses, FMEA workbooks, traceability matrices, and audit trails on demand, from the same live record your engineers work in.
Export hazard analyses, FMEA, matrices and audit trails
Keep reports accurate and up to date
Generate documentation from a single source of truth

How Are Products Licensed?
As an annual software subscription. Active users of a given app need a Named Active User license for that product; a Connect license is required per server and gives every Polarion user read-only access to that app's views as a report. A commercial license covers one production instance on one Polarion server, including a load-balanced or multi-node cluster.

When a Security Threat Can Defeat a Safety Function, One Record Must Show Both.
Safety sees the hazard. Security sees the threat. Increasingly, one control serves both — and IEC 62443 brings industrial cybersecurity into the same lifecycle discipline as IEC 61508 safety. Nextedy runs both on the same Polarion record, with a bridge between them — a security risk with a safety effect links straight into your assessment.
