DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS
The following definitions and abbreviations apply to this document.
BPCS
Basic Process Control System
Logic Solver
Part of the SIS that performs one or more logic functions, e.g. safety
relay, trip amplifier
Proof Test
Periodic testing to detect failures in a safety instrumented system
Protection Layer
A mechanism that reduces risk by control, prevention or mitigation
Sensor
Part of the SIS which measures the process condition
SIF
Safety Instrumented Function – A function with a specified safety
integrity level which is necessary to achieve functional safety
SIL
Safety integrity level – A numerical number, 1 to 4 stipulating the
level of integrity the system shall perform to, 1 being the lowest 4 the
highest
SIS
Safety Instrument System – A SIS comprises of sensors, logic solvers
and final elements
1ooN
SIS made up of N independent channels, which are so connected, that
any single channel is sufficient to perform the correct safety
instrumented function
2ooN
SIS made up of N independent channels, which are so connected, that
any two of the channels are required to perform the correct safety
instrumented function
