Step 1: SIL Determination, assignment workshop

Identification of Instrumented Interlocks on the P&IDs =

inventory of Safety Instrumented Function (SIF)

For each SIF:

Qualitative evaluation of consequences if the event the SIF is
designed to safeguard from
Qualitative evaluation of the likelihood of the event
Determination of risk level (likelihood * consequence) and
resulting SIF required performance (SIL level)

Step 2: calculations and recommendation

SIS Performance Verification

Evaluate the performance of each SIF, based on device

selection, architecture, voting, testing etc.

Compare to required SIL level and specify modifications to

the SIF design (device selection, component redundancy) or
testing intervals
