Functional safety - Safety instrumented systems for the process industry sector - Part 3: Guidance for the determination of the required safety integrity levels

IEC 61511-3:2016 is available as IEC 61511-3:2016 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition. IEC 61511-3:2016 applies when functional safety is achieved using one or more SIF for the protection of either personnel, the general public, or the environment; may be applied in non-safety applications such as asset protection; illustrates typical hazard and risk assessment methods that may be carried out to define the safety functional requirements and SIL of each SIF; illustrates techniques/measures available for determining the required SIL; provides a framework for establishing SIL but does not specify the SIL required for specific applications; does not give examples of determining the requirements for other methods of risk reduction. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2003. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: Additional H&RA example(s) and quantitative analysis consideration annexes are provided.

Sécurité fonctionnelle - Systèmes instrumentés de sécurité pour le secteur des industries de transformation - Partie 3: Conseils pour la détermination des niveaux exigés d'intégrité de sécurité

L'IEC 61511-3:2016 s'applique lorsque la sécurité fonctionnelle est obtenue en utilisant une ou plusieurs SIF pour la protection du personnel, du grand public ou de l'environnement; peut s'appliquer dans des applications non liées à la sécurité (notamment la protection des biens); présente les méthodes d'analyse de danger et de risque qui peuvent être réalisées pour définir les exigences fonctionnelles de sécurité et le SIL de chaque SIF; identifie des techniques et mesures disponibles pour déterminer le SIL exigé; fournit un cadre pour la détermination du SIL, mais ne spécifie pas le SIL exigé pour des applications spécifiques; ne donne aucun exemple de détermination des exigences relatives à d'autres méthodes de réduction de risque. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2003. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: Réalisation d'exemples additionnels H&RA et d'annexes sur la considération d'analyse quantitative.

Funkcijska varnost - Sistemi z varnostnimi instrumenti za sektor procesne industrije - 3. del: Smernice za ugotavljanje zahtevanih nivojev celovite varnosti (IEC 61511-3:2016)

Ta del standarda IEC 61511 določa informacije:
– o temeljnih zasnovah glede tveganj in povezavi med tveganjem ter varnostno celovitostjo (glej točko A.4);
– o določitvi sprejemljivega tveganja (glej dodatek K);
– o številnih različnih metodah, ki omogočajo določitev stopnje varnostne celovitosti (SIL) za funkcije z varnostnimi instrumenti (SIF) (glej dodatke od B do K);
– o vplivu več varnostnih sistemov na izračune, ki določajo zmožnost doseganja želenega zmanjšanja tveganja (glej dodatek J).
Ta del standarda IEC 61511:
a) se uporablja, če se funkcionalna varnost doseže z uporabo ene ali več funkcij z varnostnimi instrumenti za zaščito osebja/splošne javnosti ali varstvo okolja;
b) se lahko uporabi za aplikacije, ki niso povezane z varnostjo, npr. za zaščito sredstev;
c) opisuje tipične metode ocenjevanja nevarnosti in tveganja, ki se lahko izvedejo za opredelitev varnostnih funkcionalnih zahtev in stopnjo varnostne celovitosti vsake funkcije z varnostnimi instrumenti;
d) opisuje tehnike/ukrepe, ki so na voljo za določanje zahtevane stopnje varnostne celovitosti;
e) podaja okvir za določanje stopnje varnostne celovitosti, a ne določa stopnje varnostne celovitosti, ki je potrebna za določeno aplikacijo;
f) ne podaja primerov za določanje zahtev za druge metode za zmanjšanje tveganja.
OPOMBA: Primeri, navedeni v dodatkih tega standarda, se navezujejo na posamezne primere uporabe zahtev iz standarda IEC 61511 v določenem primeru, uporabnik pa se mora prepričati, da so izbrane metode in tehnike primerne v njegovem primeru.
Dodatki B–K opisujejo kvantitativne in kvalitativne pristope in so poenostavljeni zaradi prikaza osnovnih načel. Ti dodatki so vključeni za prikaz splošnih načel več metod, vendar ne zagotavljajo dokončnega pristopa.
OPOMBA 1: Tisti, ki nameravajo uporabiti metode, navedene v teh dodatkih, lahko upoštevajo izvorni material, ki je naveden v vsakem dodatku.
OPOMBA 2: Metode za določanje stopnje varnostne celovitosti, zajete v 3. delu, morda niso primerne za vse načine uporabe. Še zlasti določene tehnike ali dodatni dejavniki, ki niso opisani, so mogoče potrebni za način z visokimi zahtevami ali neprekinjen način delovanja.
OPOMBA 3: Metode, kot so opisane tukaj, lahko privedejo do nekonzervativnih rezultatov, če so uporabljene prek osnovnih omejitev in ko dejavniki, kot so običajni vzroki, toleriranje napak, holistični vidiki uporabe, pomanjkanje izkušenj z uporabljeno metodo, neodvisnost zaščitnih plasti itd. niso zadostno obravnavani. Glej dodatek J.
Slika 2 podaja pregled tipičnih varnostnih plasti in sredstev za zmanjšanje tveganj.
