SHANGHAI, June 16, 2025 -- GW Laser announced that its continuous fiber laser series products have successfully passed the rigorous audit of the international authority SGS, and have been awarded the ISO 13849-1:2023 Functional Safety Certification, with a safety level of PLd. This marks that China's laser products have ranked among the international leading level in the field of functional safety. This marks that China's laser products in the field of functional safety among the international leading level, for the safe operation of global high-end manufacturing equipment to provide a higher standard of technical guarantee.

Mr. Zheng Zheng, Product Line Director of SGS China Functional Safety Center, was on hand to present the certification to Dr. Ding Jianwu, CEO of GW Laser.

01 Functional Safety Certification: A High-Level Passport to International Safety Standards

ISO 13849-1 is the core international standard for functional safety in machinery safety. The PLd (Performance Level d) safety level achieved by the GW Laser series represents a high level of safety performance. This means that the series of products have high reliability in complex industrial scenarios and can effectively prevent dangerous failures; even in the event of a single failure, multiple safety mechanisms can guarantee system safety and maximize the protection of personnel and equipment, meeting the safety access requirements of high-end manufacturing, automotive, precision machining, and other demanding fields.

02 Technological Attack: Forging Safety Gene in the Whole Chain

Adhering to the unremitting pursuit of “technological innovation” and “safety and quality”, this certification is the result of months of testing and technological attack by the company's R&D team and quality team focusing on functional safety.

Safety Design: The concept of functional safety is integrated into the source of product design, and multiple independent safety circuits are constructed to ensure the high reliability and diagnostic coverage of the core safety functions.

Strict selection of key components: Strictly select components that meet functional safety requirements and establish a perfect safety life cycle management system.

Upgraded validation system: A systematic validation platform compliant with ISO 13849 has been established to quantitatively validate the reliability and stability of product safety performance through a large number of stringent tests (fault injection, stress, EMC, etc.).

03 Authoritative endorsement: international recognition of China's intellectual strength 

Zheng Zheng, Product Line Director of SGS China Functional Safety Center, commented, “GW Laser's professionalism in safety design and verification system has reached the international advanced level, and it is a model for the concept of ‘safety first’.” Dr. Ding Jianwu, CEO of GW Laser, said, "Functional safety certification is an important milestone for the company to practice the mission of ‘Safety Enabling Global Manufacturing’. We will use this as a starting point to continue to output laser products with international leading safety standards."

04 Globalization Strategy: Driving Ecological Overseas with Safety Certification

The SGS Functional Safety PLd certification of the continuous fiber laser series is an authoritative proof of GW Laser's technical strength, and it is also a key step in its globalization strategy:

Breaking through the barriers of access: Partnering with international authoritative institutions such as SGS, the company has opened up the threshold of the access to the international high-end market with its high standards.

Improve global services: With “product innovation, service upgrade, quality assurance and global layout” as the core of its strategy, the company promotes the internationalization of its products by constructing a global product matrix, a full-cycle service system and a localized operation network.

Building a technology ecosystem: To build a “laser welding technology ecosystem” with global partners to provide efficient and safe intelligent welding solutions for global customers.

Dr. Ding Jianwu, CEO of GW Laser, emphasized, “Obtaining the international certification is a new starting point for globalization service. We export our self-developed laser technology to the world, not only pursuing efficiency and cost-effectiveness, but also reshaping the industry standard with extreme safety and reliability.”

With this international safety “golden card” in hand, Brightwell Laser will continue to inject safety momentum into global high-end intelligent equipment with excellent safety performance and reliable industrial quality, and consolidate its leading position as a globally trustworthy laser solution provider!
