12 Chapter 1 <strong>Safety</strong> Concepts<br />
<strong>Safety</strong> Standards<br />
Over the past several years, there has been rapid movement in many countries to develop<br />
standards and regulations to minimize the impact of industrial accidents on citizens. The<br />
standards described in this section apply to typical applications.<br />
General <strong>Safety</strong> Standards<br />
IEC 61508, Parts 1–7<br />
The IEC 61508 standard, “Functional <strong>Safety</strong>: <strong>Safety</strong> Related <strong>Systems</strong>,” is an international<br />
standard designed to address a complete SIS <strong>for</strong> the process, transit, and medical industries. The<br />
standard introduces the concept of a safety life cycle model (see Figure 5 on page 9) to illustrate<br />
that the integrity of an SIS is not limited to device integrity, but is also a function of design,<br />
operation, testing, and maintenance.<br />
The standard includes four SILs that are indexed to a specific probability-to-fail-on-demand<br />
(PFD) (see Figure 2 on page 5). A SIL assignment is based on the required risk reduction as<br />
determined by a PHA.<br />
ANSI/ISA S84.01<br />
ANSI/ISA S84.01-1996 is the United States standard <strong>for</strong> safety systems in the process industry.<br />
The SIL classes from IEC 61508 are used and the DIN V 19250 relationships are maintained.<br />
ANSI/ISA S84.01-1996 does not include the highest SIL class, SIL 4. The S84 Committee<br />
determined that SIL 4 is applicable <strong>for</strong> medical and transit systems in which the only layer of<br />
protection is the safety-instrumented layer. In contrast, the process industry can integrate many<br />
layers of protection in the process design. The overall risk reduction from these layers of<br />
protection is equal to or greater than that of other industries.<br />
IEC 61511, Parts 1–3<br />
The IEC 61511 standard, “Functional <strong>Safety</strong>: <strong>Safety</strong> Instrumented <strong>Systems</strong> <strong>for</strong> the Process<br />
Industry Sector,” is an international standard designed to be used as a companion to IEC 61508.<br />
IEC 61511 is intended <strong>for</strong> SIS designers, integrators, and users in the process-control industry.<br />
Application-Specific Standards<br />
NFPA 85<br />
NFPA 85, “Boiler and Combustion <strong>Systems</strong> Hazards Code,” outlines the United States<br />
requirements <strong>for</strong> operations using single burner boilers and multiple burner boilers.<br />
