Hybrid applications of IEC61511 – Laurie Blackmore
API RP14C is the regulatory design basis BUT the Operator has decided to pre-specify
intregrity levels without SIL assessment. Benefits include:
§
Establish level of risk for each hazard
§
Specify performance requirements
related to level of risk
§
Design is based on SIL requirements
§
Fault tolerance
where needed
§
Personnel competencies
§
Address software issues
§
Address systematic issues
§
More formalised validation
§
Prioritise testing resources
§
The manhours and potential schedule implications are reduced since only SIL
validation is required
