Functional safety—Safety instrumented systems for the process industry sector—Part 3:Guidance for the determination of the required safety integrity levels
1 Scope
This part provides information on
——the underlying concepts of risk, the relationship of risk to safety integrity, see Clause 3;
——the determination of tolerable risk, see Annex A;
——a number of different methods that enable the safety integrity levels for the safety instrumented functions to be determined, see Annexes B, C, D, E, and F.
In particular:
a) applies when functional safety is achieved using one or more safety instrumented functions for the protection of either personnel, the general public, or the environment;
b) may be applied in non-safety applications such as asset protection;
c) illustrates typical hazard and risk assessment methods that shall be carried out to define the safety functional requirements and safety integrity levels of each safety instrumented function;
d) illustrates techniques/measures available for determining the required safety integrity levels;
e) provides a framework for establishing safety integrity levels but does not specify the safety integrity levels required for specific applications;
f) does not give examples of determining the requirements for other methods of risk reduction.
Annexes B, C, D, E, and F illustrate quantitative and qualitative approaches and have been simplified in order to illustrate the underlying principles. These annexes have been included to illustrate the general principles of a number of methods but do not provide a definitive account.
Note: Those intending to apply the methods indicated in these annexes shall consult the source material referenced in each annex.
Figure 1 shows the overall framework for GB/T 21109 and indicates the role that this part plays in the achievement of functional safety for safety instrumented systems.
Figure 2 gives an overview of risk reduction methods.
