Our Functional Safety Management Services
SIL Verification with PFD Calculation
Our SIL Verification service employs comprehensive methodologies, including detailed Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD) calculations, which encompass factors such as component failure rates, voting mechanisms, and system architecture. We meticulously analyze the failure rates of individual components within safety instrumented functions (SIFs) and evaluate the redundancy and diversity of voting mechanisms to accurately quantify the PFD. By considering factors such as diagnostic coverage, common cause failures, and proof testing intervals, we ensure a thorough assessment of the safety system’s reliability. Our approach to PFD calculation integrates industry best practices and standards such as IEC 61511, providing industries with robust assurance that their safety systems meet the required SIL targets and risk reduction objectives. Partner with us to implement rigorous PFD calculations and enhance the integrity and effectiveness of your safety instrumented functions in compliance with regulatory requirements.
Safety Requirement Specification Development
Our Safety Requirement Specification (SRS) Development service aligns closely with the requirements outlined in the IEC 61511 standard, offering a systematic approach to defining safety requirements for their processes and systems. We meticulously assess process hazards, determine safety instrumented functions (SIFs), and establish safety integrity levels (SIL) to ensure compliance with IEC 61511. Our expert team collaborates with clients to develop SRS documents that clearly articulate safety objectives, performance criteria, and functional requirements for safety instrumented systems (SIS) and other safety measures. By adhering to the principles of IEC 61511, we ensure that the SRS provides a comprehensive framework for implementing, testing, and maintaining safety measures throughout the lifecycle of the facility. Partner with us to develop SRS documents that not only meet the stringent requirements of IEC 61511 but also enhance safety performance and reliability in your operations.
Machinery Safety Expertise for Industrial Excellence
We specialize in delivering comprehensive machinery safety solutions that ensure compliance with international standards, including ISO 12100, IEC 60204-1, ISO 13849-1, and IEC 62061. Our expertise covers all aspects of machinery safety, from hazard identification and risk assessment to the design and validation of safety-related control systems. Using ISO 12100 principles, we identify potential hazards and implement effective risk mitigation strategies. With IEC 60204-1, we ensure electrical systems meet the highest safety and reliability standards. Through ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061, we design and validate safety-related control systems that achieve the required Performance Levels (PL) and Safety Integrity Levels (SIL).
Our tailored approach integrates advanced safety technologies with practical engineering solutions to enhance both safety and operational efficiency. Whether it’s developing fail-safe control architectures or preparing detailed safety documentation, we ensure your machinery is not only compliant but also optimized for productivity and reduced downtime. By choosing our services, you gain a partner dedicated to creating safe, efficient, and reliable systems that align with your unique operational needs. Together, we can set new standards for machinery safety and operational excellence.
Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) Design and Evaluation
Our Process Control Narrative Development service involves crafting detailed documents that provide a comprehensive overview of the control strategies and operational sequences within processes. These narratives outline the sequence of operations, control loops, and interlock sequences involved in managing various process parameters. Our expert team meticulously describes the control philosophy, including setpoints, control modes, and regulatory strategies employed to maintain process stability and meet product specifications. Additionally, the narratives detail alarm management strategies, emergency shutdown procedures, and contingency plans to ensure safe and efficient operation under normal and abnormal conditions. By documenting the intricacies of process control, we enable operators to understand and effectively manage the process, optimize performance, and minimize risks. Partner with us for expert process control narrative development tailored to your specific operations.
