FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

INTRODUCTION
Safety instrumented systems have been used for many years to perform safety instrumented
functions in the process industries. If instrumentation is to be effectively used for safety
instrumented functions, it is essential that this instrumentation achieves certain minimum
standards.
This International Standard addresses the application of safety instrumented systems for the
Process Industries. It also deals with the interface between safety instrumented systems and
other safety systems in requiring that a process hazard and risk assessment be carried out.
The safety instrumented system includes sensors, logic solvers and final elements.
This International Standard has two concepts, which are fundamental to its application; safety
lifecycle and safety integrity levels. The safety lifecycle forms the central framework which
links together most of the concepts in this International Standard.
The safety instrumented system logic solvers addressed include Electrical (E)/Electronic (E)/
and Programmable Electronic (PE) technology. Where other technologies are used for logic
solvers, the basic principles of this standard may also be applied. This standard also
addresses the safety instrumented system sensors and final elements regardless of the
technology used. This International Standard is process industry specific within the framework
of the IEC 61508 series.
This International Standard sets out an approach for safety lifecycle activities to achieve
these minimum standards. This approach has been adopted in order that a rational and
consistent technical policy is used. The objective of this standard is to provide guidance on
how to comply with IEC 61511-1.
To facilitate use of this standard, the clause and subclause numbers provided are identical to
the corresponding normative text in 61511-1 (excluding the annexes).
In most situations, safety is best achieved by an inherently safe process design whenever
practicable, combined, if necessary, with a number of protective systems which rely on
different technologies (for example, chemical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical,
electronic, thermodynamic (for example, flame arrestors), programmable electronic) which
manage any residual identified risk. Any safety strategy considers each individual safety
instrumented system in the context of the other protective systems. To facilitate this
approach, this standard
í requires that a hazard and risk assessment is carried out to identify the overall safety
requirements;
í requires that an allocation of the safety requirements to the safety functions and related
safety systems, such as the safety instrumented system(s), is carried out;
í works within a framework which is applicable to all instrumented methods of achieving
functional safety;
í details the use of certain activities, such as safety management, which may be applicable
to all methods of achieving functional safety.

61511-2 © IEC:2004 – 13 –
This International Standard on safety instrumented systems for the process industry:
í addresses relevant safety lifecycle stages from initial concept, through design,
implementation, operation and maintenance and decommissioning;
í enables existing or new country specific process industry standards to be harmonized with
this standard.
This standard is intended to lead to a high level of consistency (for example, of underlying
principles, terminology, information) within the process industries. This should have both
safety and economic benefits.

FUNCTIONAL SAFETY –
SAFETY INSTRUMENTED SYSTEMS
FOR THE PROCESS INDUSTRY SECTOR –
Part 2: Guidelines for the application of IEC 61511-1
1 Scope
IEC 61511-2 provides guidance on the specification, design, installation, operation and
maintenance of Safety Instrumented Functions and related safety instrumented system as
defined in IEC 61511-1. This standard has been organized so that each clause and subclause
number herein addresses the same clause number in IEC 61511-1 (with the exception of the
annexes).
2 Normative references
No further guidance provided.
3 Terms, definitions and abbreviations
No further guidance provided except for 3.2.68 and 3.2.71 of IEC 61511-1.
3.2.68 A safety function should prevent a specified hazardous event. For example, “prevent
the pressure in vessel #ABC456 exceeding 100 bar.” A safety function may be achieved by
a) a single safety instrumented system (SIS), or
b) one or more safety instrumented systems and/or other layers of protection.
In case b), each safety instrumented system or other layer of protection has to be capable of
achieving the safety function and the overall combination has to achieve the required risk
reduction (process safety target).
3.2.71 Safety instrumented functions are derived from the safety function, have an
associated safety integrity level (SIL) and are carried out by a specific safety instrumented
system (SIS). For example, “close valve #XY123 within 5 s when pressure in vessel #ABC456
reaches 100 bar”. Note that components of a safety instrumented system may be used by
more than one safety instrumented function.
4 Conformance to this International Standard
No further guidance provided.

5 Management of functional safety
5.1 Objective
The objective of Clause 5 of IEC 61511-1 is to provide requirements for implementing the
management activities that are necessary to ensure that the functional safety objectives
are met.
5.2 Requirements
5.2.1 General
5.2.1.1 No further guidance provided.
5.2.1.2 When an organization has responsibility for one or more activities necessary for
functional safety and that organization works according to quality assurance procedures, then
many of these activities described in this clause will already be carried out for the purposes of
quality. Where this is the case, it may be unnecessary to repeat these activities for the
purposes of functional safety. In such cases, the quality assurance procedures should be
reviewed to establish that they are suitable so that the objectives of functional safety will
be achieved.
5.2.2 Organization and resources
5.2.2.1 The organizational structure associated with safety instrumented systems within a
Company/Site/Plant/Project should be defined and the roles and responsibilities of each
element clearly understood and communicated. Within the structure, individual roles, including
their description and purpose should be identified. For each role, unambiguous
accountabilities should be identified; and specific responsibilities should be recognised. In
addition, whom the individual reports to and who makes the appointment should be identified.
The intent is to ensure that everyone in an organization understands their role and
responsibilities for safety instrumented systems.
5.2.2.2 The skills and knowledge required to implement any of the activities of the safety life
cycle relating to the safety instrumented systems should be identified; and for each skill, the
required competency levels should be defined. Resources should be assessed against each
skill for competency and also the number of people per skill required. When differences are
identified, development plans should be established to enable the required competency levels
to be achieved in a timely manner. When shortages of skills arise, suitably qualified and
experienced personnel may be recruited or contracted.
5.2.3 Risk evaluation and risk management
The requirement stated in 5.2.3 of IEC 61511 is that hazards are identified, risks evaluated
and the necessary risk reduction is determined. It is recognized that there are numerous
different methodologies available for conducting these evaluations. IEC 61511-1 does not
endorse any particular methodology. Instead, the reader is encouraged to review a number of
methodologies on this issue in IEC 61511-3. See 8.2.1 for further guidance.

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

61511-2 © IEC:2004 – 21 –
5.2.4 Planning
The intent of this subclause is to ensure that, within the overall project, adequate safety
planning is conducted so that all of the required activities during each phase of the lifecycle
(for example, engineering design, plant operation) are addressed. The standard does not
require any particular structure for these planning activities, but it does require periodic
update or revie
