What are we trying to prove?
‣
That the SIF does what it should
‣
That it is reliable enough (has a low enough PFD)
‣
That we have systems in place to prevent “new” systematic failures
‣
What are we not trying to prove?
‣
That it is compliant with 61511 prior use (or 61508 proven in use)
‣
That there are few “historic” systematic failures
