FMTC Workshop
Functional safety validation - Challenges and innovative solutions
Safety is of increasing importance in industrial environments. The international standard EN-IEC-61508 defines the requirements for the functional safety circuits and the procedure for performing a safety assessment. This procedure consists of 3 steps: hazard and risk analysis, safety function definition and SIL (Safety Integrity Level) validation.
In the validation process, reliability quantification of parts used in safety instrumented systems is required.
In the VAL4SIL project different techniques for reliability quantification have been investigated. Based on this investigation a systematic integrated process for quantifying system's reliability and validating SIL for safety function is developed.
