The European Core User Interest Group in Programmable Safety Related Systems

CUIG was a group of European organisations working to promote the safe use of programmable electronic safety related systems.  It was supported by the European Commission as a 3-year project, commencing in 1997, in the Esprit Programme of Information Technology research and development.

CUIG's objective was to "enable the European Process Industry to gain competitive advantage from the exploitation of programmable safety related systems to improve both safety and manufacturing performance”.

CUIG was represented by all parts of process industry supply chain from major end user operating organisations, through design contractors to manufacturers of safety systems. Through these organisations CUIG harnessed considerable management and technical expertise to achieve its objectives.

This site provides some information on the CUIG project and is a portal to some of the documents produced during the project.
