Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Services
The Safety Lifecycle defines the activities that need to occur at each stage of the design of the SIS. This includes:
-
Hazard Identification is carried out using established techniques such as Hazop and Hazid. The output is then screened and carried forward to Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Assignment. -
SIL Assignment: A multi-disciplinary team of Design, Instrument and Electrical Engineers, Maintenance Technicians, Operations and Management review each identified hazard and assign a target SIL for each Hazard. An approved technique is used, as defined in IEC61508, such as the powerful Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA), semi-quantitative or calibrated risk graph. -
Safety Requirements Specification (SRS): A critical part of the lifecycle, the SRS defines all of the requirements and special considerations for each Safety Instrumented Function (SIF).The SRS is developed in conjunction with the System Designers, Operations and Management. This document is an important validation tool for the installed SIS, allowing identification of deviations from the agreed system to be identified and reviewed. -
SIL Verification involves conducting hardware probability of failure calculations to ensure that the probability of failure of each overall SIF loop achieves the minimum requirements, as defined by the target SIL. SIS performance analysis also incorporates assessment of other SIS design parameters, including Hardware Fault Tolerance (HFT), Common Cause Failures (CCF) and Critical Function Testing (CFT) requirements.
