IEC 61508 / 61511 SIL determination

A practical training course in the appreciation of

SIL determination to the technical requirements

of IEC 61508 / 61511.

Industry today relies upon safety systems

to maintain and protect operating assets.

Businesses seek to maintain operating

effectiveness and reduce spurious trips whilst

achieving a safety target appropriate to the

circumstances. Fundamental to this process

is the determination and implementation of the

safety requirements for the safety system. From

the IEC 61508 / 61511 standards, the Safety

Integrity Level (SIL) is fundamental in ensuring

a safety related system satisfactorily performs

the required safety functions under all stated

conditions within a defined time period.

It is an assessment of the risk reduction required

to give a tolerable level of risk. Inappropriate

SIL determination can affect the safety integrity

of the asset protection envelope and may in

some cases place the asset integrity under

threat. In addition to this, unnecessary spend

in capital and operational budgets can be

incurred. In contrast, properly defined SILs

allow for significant cost improvements to be

achieved in both Greenfield and Brownfield

operating environments. Asset operational

effectiveness is ensured by periodic testing of

safety instrumented functions to maintain SIL

performance and optimise the cost of ownership.
