Topic: Safety Shutdown Systems: Achieving SIS/SIL Compliance to the New ISA61511 Standard via Sharepoint
The first international standard (IEC 61511) for Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) in the process industry was released in 2003. The second edition was recently adapted by ANSI/ISA for the USA in mid-2018.
This IEC/ISA61511 consensus standard has approximately 300 “shall” statements. The “shall” statements then cover over 650 individual requirements for each safety instrumented function (SIF). Tracking the fulfillment of these requirements is a demanding task and spreadsheets have not proven effective. Enterprise-level software solutions are available, but to-date, none have accomplished such a daunting task.
In this session, a case study will be utilized to show how full compliance can be achieved. It will apply comprehensive, off-the-shelf safety lifecycle tools that work with existing site practices. The process will be sustainable, simple, and most importantly, cost effective. The exciting news is that Microsoft SharePointⓇ can bring all the requirements into focus and any company can obtain full ISA/IEC 61511 compliance.
