IEC - 61508 : Safe Plant Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Safety Integrity Levels as defined by IEC 61508 provide the plant designer with the opportunity to optimise the design of protection system against potential hazards based on knowledge of the consequences of failure. This paper details the reasons behind the development of the standard, and describes the techniques that can be used for integrity level evaluation. A case study is then presented that demonstrates approaches for assessment and implementation of the safety integrity requirements.

متن کاملWhat Is Reliable Control?
Reliable control has been brought to attention by its con tributionto system design according to the international standard on system safety, IEC 61508. This paper systematizes reliable control by clarifying its essence and meaning in accordance with the policy of IEC 61508. The systematization is indispensable for its further advances as the social environment surrounding system safety hopes.
متن کاملTest-Driven Approach for Safety-Critical Software Development
Nowadays software control large majority of systems that humankind use. Systems that software is used widely, such as transportation, military, medicine and avionics must be safe during operation. Fail in these critical systems may cause catastrophic results (i.e. loss of human life, loss or severe damage to environment or equipment etc.). In order to avoid failure on safety critical systems or...
