What is Functional Safety?


New term in IEC 61508 (introduced in 1999)
Part of Overall Safety
◦ freedom from unacceptable risk
Achieved by a Safety Instrumented System (SIS)
◦ E/E/PE Safety System in IEC 61508
◦ Examples:
◦ Trip System
◦ Emergency Shutdown System
◦ Burner Management System
◦ Includes field devices as well as logic solver
A SIS places or maintains a process in a safe state
◦ Process = Equipment Under Control (EUC) in IEC 61508
◦ Implements Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs)
◦ Each SIF achieves a Safety Integrity Level (SIL)
Acronyms to remember: SIS, SIF and SIL !.

Why Functional Safety?


Buncefield, England 11 Dec 2005
Storage tank level gauge showed
constant reading
High level switch left in test mode
Gasoline tank overflowed
Mist exploded
◦ largest peacetime explosion in Europe
◦ 20 tanks on fire
◦ burned for three days
◦ significant environmental impact
◦ hundreds of millions of pounds damage

Should have complied with IEC 61511.

Complying with IEC 61511


Target SIL must be specified for each SIF
based on hazard and risk analysis
Processes for SIS throughout lifecycle must comply
Each SIF must meet target SIL requirements for:
◦ Random failure rate (PFDavg)
◦ Architectural constraints (hardware fault tolerance)
◦ Systematic capability for each component
◦ Field devices, logic solver, shutdown valves etc.

Not just TÜV certification


◦ Though it helps !

Not just meeting PFDavg target.

Comply Throughout Lifecycle


For the rest of the presentation we’ll follow the SIS lifecycle
What do we need to do to comply at each stage?

Types of failures
Random failures – components (“elements”) wear out
◦ use high reliability components
◦ use redundant components
◦ test frequently
◦ automated and/or manual

Systematic failures – human error


◦ redundant components provide no protection!
◦ “techniques and measures” to
◦ avoid faults
◦ detect faults to avoid failures
◦ Functional Safety Management System
◦ quality system for functional safety

21 July, 2017 IICA - FUNCTIONAL SAFETY DEMYSTIFIED 29

Control of systematic failures


For integration of components into a system (SIS):
◦ Functional Safety Management System (FSMS)
◦ for all phases of lifecycle including operation
◦ quality system for SIS
◦ verification, validation, audit and assessment
◦ can comply with either IEC 61511 or IEC 61508

Within each component:


◦ ensure quality design in accordance with IEC 61508
◦ ensure appropriate techniques and measures from IEC 61508 used for the
SIL of the target SIF
◦ measured by the term “systematic capability”
◦ SC 1 to 4 corresponding to SIL 1 to 4
◦ Formerly called “SIL x Capability”
◦ independent certification or “prior use”

Hardware Fault Tolerance


“Architectural constraints” in IEC 61508
Aim is to avoid unrealistic reliability claims
◦ from single components
Use IEC 61508-2 (Route 1H) constrains SIF architecture based on:
◦ Safe Failure Fraction
◦ complexity of device (“Type A” or “Type B”)
◦ target SIL
OR use Table 6 in IEC 61511-1 2016 Ed. 2
◦ simplified, relaxes previous unrealistic restrictions
◦ based on IEC 61508 Route 2H
◦ see next slide
Outcome is required minimum Hardware Fault Tolerance (HFT)
◦ no. of voted devices minus no. required to perform safety function
◦ For MooN architecture, HFT = N - M

Control of systematic failures


For integration of components into a system (SIS):
◦ functional safety management system
◦ for all phases of lifecycle including operation
◦ verification, validation, audit and assessment
◦ can comply with either IEC 61511 or IEC 61508

Within each component:


◦ ensure quality design in accordance with IEC 61508
◦ ensure appropriate techniques and measures from IEC 61508 used for the
SIL of the target SIF
◦ measured by the term “systematic capability”
◦ SC 1 to 4 corresponding to SIL 1 to 4
◦ formerly called “SIL Capability”
◦ independent certification or “prior use”

21 July, 2017 IICA - FUNCTIONAL SAFETY DEMYSTIFIED 49

Case Study: Transmitter Selection


Must control systematic faults
Transmitter selected must comply with IEC 61508 and IEC 61511
Must either:
be designed and manufactured in accordance with IEC 61508
◦ confirmed by independent certificate (e.g. by a “TÜV” or exida)
◦ Systematic Capability from 1 to 4
◦ i.e. techniques and measures are suitable for SIL 1 to 4

OR
meet requirements for Prior Use (or “proven in use”):
◦ sufficient experience gained in a comparable application

Best practice: require BOTH prior use and certification

Component Certification
An independent organisation certifies that the component meets the
requirements of IEC 61508 for a particular SIL
◦ not only “TÜV” !!!

Parts 2 and 3 contain numerous “techniques and measures” required to


avoid and control faults
◦ the rigour required increases with SIL

The aim is to reduce the likelihood of systematic faults to an acceptably


low level relative to the SIL
The result is expressed as “Systematic Capability” or SC from 1 to 4
◦ corresponding to SIL 1 to 4
◦ was previously called “SIL Capability”

The certificate also usually also includes failure data and whether the
component is “Type A” or “Type B”
◦ details are in a companion report

Prior Use (IEC 61511)


Requires that appropriate evidence is available that the component is
suitable based on consideration of:
◦ the manufacturer’s quality systems
◦ adequate identification of the devices
◦ demonstration of performance in similar operating environments
◦ the volume of operating experience

Focus is on demonstrating freedom from systematic faults


IEC 61508 term is “Proven in Use”
◦ more rigorous requirements

Standards Compliance
Target SIL must be specified for each SIF
based on hazard and risk analysis
Processes for SIS throughout lifecycle must comply
Each SIF must meet target SIL requirements for:
◦ Hardware Fault Tolerance (architectural constraints)
◦ random failure rate (PFDavg)
◦ Systematic Capability of each component

Design now complies

Verification, Validation, Functional Safety Assessment

21 July, 2017 IICA - FUNCTIONAL SAFETY DEMYSTIFIED 57

Case Study: Verification and Validation


Project Verification and Validation Plan required
◦ Consider level of independence required (i.e. independent engineer)
◦ Define responsibilities

Verify each phase e.g.


◦ Safety Requirements Specification
◦ Verify hardware design documents
◦ Verify functional specifications etc
◦ Implement code walkthrough
Logic Solver Factory Acceptance Test
◦ Complete integration test validates application software on target hardware
Logic Solver Site Acceptance Test
◦ Power up test on site
Safety Function Testing
◦ SIS validation
Functional Safety Assessment
Note that terminology is from the ISO9000 discipline
◦ Some disciplines swap the meanings of “verification” and “validation”!

Verification... build the product right


“activity of demonstrating for EACH PHASE of the relevant safety life
cycle

by analysis and/or tests,

that, for specific inputs, the outputs meet in all respects the objectives
and requirements set for the specific phase” (IEC 61511 3.2.92)

Performed progressively throughout the lifecycle

21 July, 2017 IICA - FUNCTIONAL SAFETY DEMYSTIFIED 59

Validation... build the right product


“activity of demonstrating that
the safety instrumented function(s) and safety instrumented system(s)
under consideration
after installation meets in all respects
the SAFETY REQUIREMENTS SPECIFICATION” (IEC 61511 3.2.91)
Performed prior to introducing the hazards to the process
Can take credit for software validation in Factory Acceptance Test CDV

Functional Safety Audit


“A systematic and independent examination
to determine whether the PROCEDURES specific to the functional safety
requirements to comply with the planned arrangements,
are implemented effectively
and are suitable to achieve the specified objectives”.

(IEC 61508-4 Ed.2 3.8.4 and IEC 61511-2003 3.2.27)

For either an organisation or a project

21 July, 2017 IICA - FUNCTIONAL SAFETY DEMYSTIFIED 61

Functional Safety Assessment


“investigation, based on evidence,
to JUDGE the functional safety achieved
by one or more protection layers”
(IEC 61511 3.2.26)
Judgement based on evidence
At least one required prior to hazard introduction, but may be
progressive
Independence required
◦ Increases with SIL (IEC 61508)

Monitor design assumptions
◦ demand rates
◦ component reliability

Adjust test interval to suit

Not just TÜV certification


◦ though it helps !

Not just meeting PFDavg target
