Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) play a key role in process industry to achieve safety. One of the most important criteria for SIS design is the requirement that the user assigns and verify Safety Integrity Level (SIL) of SIS. This paper proposes a new possibilist importance measure to reduce the SIL uncertainty when the SIS components failure probabilities are uncertain.
The safety standards ANSI/ISA S84.01-1996 and IEC 61508 address the application of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) to take a process to a safe state when predetermined conditions are violated. A critical aspect of conformance with the standards is the establishment of Safety Integrity Level (SIL) for SIS. This paper presents a fuzzy/possibilist approach for determining the SIL of the SIS in presence...
