Review IEC 61511 Edition 2 and the implications for your projects, operating facilities and assigned lifecycle responsibilities. This one-day course focuses on changes in the standard and the evidence needed to apply its requirements.

The course supports continuing professional development and periodic competence review. It is particularly relevant to professionals trained or certified under an earlier edition who need to revisit their engineering and operational practices.

Who should attend

Existing FS Engineer SIS certificate holders, Functional Safety professionals and CFSEs; control and automation engineers; process and process safety engineers; operations and instrument maintenance technicians; risk and reliability engineers; loss prevention specialists; engineering and project managers; EPCs and end users; system integrators and independent consultants. Sales engineers, managers and marketing specialists working with safety products, systems and services can also benefit from understanding the requirements.

Process safety experience is helpful but is not a prerequisite. The course is open to anyone seeking a clearer understanding of the key Functional Safety principles and the impact of IEC 61511 Edition 2.

Design, implementation and validation

Review SIS engineering requirements, Table 6 hardware fault tolerance and the conditions for its application, and applicable Route 1H and Route 2H provisions. Discuss application programming, installation, commissioning, SAT and validation, including the importance of FSA Stage 3.

Operation, maintenance and modification

Review operation and maintenance responsibilities and periodic Functional Safety Assessments. Discuss modifications, FSA Stage 5 before modification, and the assessment and evidence required after the work. Testing and documentation are considered throughout.

Management, independence and conformance

Review Functional Safety Management and assessment requirements, including independent senior participation appropriate to the lifecycle stage.
