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.
