3 x 4-hour training sessions designed to help you understand SIS Hardware Design as per IEC 61511.
This course teaches you how to demonstrate that SIFs are SIL compliant, including calculating Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD) and Spurious Trip Rate.
The training reviews the detail of SIS design (Clause 11 of IEC 61511) and explores how product suppliers can (and should) demonstrate compliance with IEC 61508. Additionally, the training looks at Proven-in-Use and Prior-Use demonstration of product compliance.
Note from the trainer – this is one for the nerds. It’s a potentially dry topic, and not the easiest to deliver in an entertaining way, but if your role is SIS Hardware Design (or SIL Verification) this will deliver an essential element of competence required to do such work. The "recent delegate comments" give you a good sense of what the course delivers.
Engineers involved in the design, verification or assessment of SIS Design to IEC 61511.
This workshop assumes you are knowledgeable in the field of functional safety in general and have a background knowledge of SIS Design.
This course is suitable for those who already hold qualifications such as TUV Functional Safety Professional or Functional Safety Engineer.
One of the course objectives is to develop a workable understanding of how to evaluate the “certification” of “SIL” products. Delegates are invited to “bring their own devices” to use as worked examples in reviewing product certification. Documentation such as the “SIL Certificate”, Safety Manual and Report to the Certificate (if available) would facilitate this. Delegates will be invited to submit such documentation prior to the start of the training.
Be confident in understanding the requirements of SIS Design as per IEC 61511. Such confidence would be required by SIS Designers and those involved in SIL Verification and is part of the competence requirements for those carrying out Stage 2 Functional Safety Assessments.
All delegates receive:
The course is delivered as 3 x 4-hour sessions (usually mornings) over a single week.
