IEC 61511/61508 are Risk Based
“Is it worth going for the Cheese?”

Risk: Consequence x Likelihood.
Accounts for both the consequense and the likelihood portion
of the risk

What is…?
Tolerable Risk: The level of risk that society will accept
– Who is being exposed to risk?
 Individuals
 Society
 Environment
– What is the nature of the risk?
 Fatality / Injury
 Permanent / Temporary Damage
 Financial Loss

SIF Design
The SIL achieved is the minimum of:
1. SILPFD:Probability of Failure on Demand Average/per hour (PFDAVG /PFH)
2. SILAC : Hardware Fault Tolerance
3. SILCAP:Capability to prevent Systematic Failures (SILCAP)

Product Certification
Functional safety certification for devices is accomplished
per IEC 61508
Products are certified to a Safety Integrity Level (SIL)
The result is typically a certificate and a certification report
SIL Certification
Vendor showed
sufficient protection
against Random and
Systematic Failures

Example…
1. SILPFD: SIL2
2. SILAC : SIL1
3. SILCAP: SIL3
The SIL level for this
Safety Instrumented
Function (SIF) is:
???

Proof Testing: A manually initiated test designed to detect
failure of any part of a SF. Different proof test procedures can
have different levels of effectiveness.
No practical proof
test will detect all
failures
