  • IEC61508: Assessment, Certification and Other Assurance Measures
    IEC61508: Assessment, Certification and Other Assurance Measures Ron Bell Engineering Safety Consultants Ltd London, UK Abstract This paper focuses on the safety assurance measures within interna- tional standard IEC 61508, ‘Functional safety of electrical, electronic and pro- grammable electronic safety-related systems’. IEC 61508, and other sector and product standards developed from it, have had a major impact on the application of electrical, electronic and programmable electronic safety-related systems. In particular, the paper examines the safety assurance measures that are part of the compliance requirements within IEC 61508. The paper provides an overview of the key features of IEC 61508 which are relevant to effective assurance as well as covering the explicit assurance measures such as functional safety assessment, functional safety audit, verification and validation. The paper also covers various models for certification that have developed in relation to IEC 61508. 1 Background IEC 61508 applies to safety-related systems when one or more of such systems incorporate electrical, electronic or programmable electronic (E/E/PE) devices. E/E/PE safety-related systems are intended, with the other risk reduction measures and risk parameters, to prevent the specified hazardous event or to mitigate the consequences of the specified hazardous event. Parts 1 to 7 of IEC 61508 were published during the period 1998-2000. A re- view process to update and improve the standard was initiated in 2002 and was completed with the publication of IEC 61508 Edition 2 (IEC 2010a) in April 2010. The application of IEC 61508 and sector and product implementations are in- creasingly being recognised as ‘accepted good practice’ and have also influenced sectors which have developed their own standards and have incorporated some of the core concepts that exist within IEC 61508 into their own standards.

The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are graded according to the degree of danger. DANGER indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken. WARNING indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken. CAUTION indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken. NOTICE indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken. If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to property damage. Qualified Personnel The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions. Qualified personnel are those who, based on their training and experience, are capable of identifying risks and avoiding potential hazards when working with these products/systems.

  • Functional Safety in the Process Industry You Want That Feeling of Security
    Functional safety in the process industry You want that feeling of security. You require uninterrupted production. We bring you safety and reliability. Page 3 Page 4 SIL – Safety Integrity Level SIL in concrete terms Our expertise Your advantage 2 SIL – Safety Integrity Level Safety equipment in process plants aims to reduce the hazards presented by processes for people, the environment and property to the lowest possible, acceptable level. Depending on the potential hazards, plants are assigned a Safety Integrity Level (SIL1 to SIL4). SIL1 represents the lowest risk and SIL4 the highest acceptable risk with catastrophic consequences. As a general principle, the more hazardous the plant, the more reliably its safety equipment must operate in case of an emergency. Once a plant is assigned a SIL level, specific installation principles must be observed, e.g. redundant design. This enables the risk to be reduced to the greatest possible extent in the event of a malfunction. SIL (Safety Integrity Level) S Extent of damage W1 W2 W3 S1 Minor injury to a person S1 S2 Severe injury to several persons – – – or death of a person P1 S3 Deaths of several persons F1 SIL1 – – P2 S4 Catastrophic consequences with multiple deaths S2 SIL1 SIL1 – P1 F2 SIL2 SIL1 SIL1 F Frequency and exposure time P2 F1 Seldom to relatively frequent SIL3 SIL2 SIL1 F2 Frequent to continuous F1 S3 SIL3 SIL3 SIL2 F2 P Avoiding/mitigating the danger SIL4 SIL3 SIL3 S4 P1 Possible under certain conditions SIL4 SIL4 SIL3 P2 Hardly ever possible W Probability of occurrence W1 Relatively high Four discrete levels (SIL1 to SIL4).

The implementation of safety systems is supposed to reduce hazard occurrence and hazardous consequences in case of a WSS unsafe disruption. To assess this reduction, we preconise the use of the safety integrity levels standards. The implementation of the safety systems/devices is undertaken on the ground of the multi-barriers safeguard approach. The “Water Contamination Hazard” is considered in the paper. A case study is presented, assessed and conclusions are drawn. The methodology presented in the paper and the results of the case study assessment will contribute to the decision-making regarding the upgrading of the safety and the performance of the WSS.

  • Understanding Functional Safety an Overview of the Iec 61508 Standard and Its Application and Benefits
    UNDERSTANDING FUNCTIONAL SAFETY AN OVERVIEW OF THE IEC 61508 STANDARD AND ITS APPLICATION AND BENEFITS As the integration of automated safety systems expands globally across diverse industries – including process, household and commercial products, medical, nuclear, automotive, railway and avionics – the importance of functional safety evaluation and certification has become recognized internationally. Today functional safety certification is widely considered to be an essential tool to control and mitigate risk, particularly in those cases where a failure could lead to serious injury or death. Those unfamiliar with the concept of functional safety may find the subject difficult to understand and place within the context of traditional safety and reliability assessments. However, designers who understand and embrace the concept of functional safety – and who demonstrate that products or systems conform to the requirements of recognized functional safety standards – are equipped to better manage risk while also capture increased share of market among the growing ranks of customers who also seek to meet the requirements of functional safety standards. This paper provides an overview of functional safety concepts, standards requirements and methods of compliance. It is intended to help readers understand the importance of functional safety and the advantages of obtaining formal evaluation and certification services performed by an independent third-party. Why Functional Safety? Evaluation and certification of systems involved in a safety related system and products to confirm that the functional application, with SIL4 used to protect IEC 61508 is the international standard for safety requirements of IEC 61508 have been against the highest risks. safety related systems associated with met is just one of the methods of dealing Safety function requirements are defined electrical, electronic and software-based with hazards control.
