Kim, Unfortunately none of these involves quick tests. All require lengthy assessments, and EN 61508 in particular requires a whole range of activities extending throughout product development and then on through life. You will also find that there are relatively few accredited bodies that can certify to EN 61508. One that you might like to consider is Sira Certification Service in the UK, http://www.siraservices.com/index2.html .
