The paper introduces the concept of certifying or qualifying structures in a safety critical situation using the finite element method. Error control and error treatment methods for this purpose are discussed together with the associated role of testing. The underlying methodology follows the principles laid down in the SAFESA (SAFE Structural Analysis) method which is described in outline.
