COURSE OBJECTIVES

Led by a TÜV Rheinland Functional safety Expert, this FS Engineer (TÜV

Rheinland) certification course will equip participants with the knowledge for
understanding and mastering the application, principles and requirements of IEC 61508 – Functional safety
of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety systems and IEC 61511 – Functional Safety: Safety
Instrumented Systems for the Process Sector.

This 4 day FS Engineer (TÜV Rheinland) SIS course is run in accordance with the TÜV Rheinland Functional
Safety Program and comprises three days of classroom tuition and practical guidance, for understanding
and mastering the application, principles and requirements of IEC 61508 / IEC 61511. There is a five hour
competency assessment on the fourth day. Practical exercises will performed
throughout the course which will be based on real life examples.

THE ASSESSMENT ON THE LAST DAY IS IN TWO PARTS WITH:

70 multiple choice questions (1 mark each question)
10 multiple part questions (3 available marks per question)
Pass score requirement is 75%

Successful participants, who must also have a minimum of 3 years functional safety experience,
will achieve the prestigious FS Engineer (TÜV Rheinland) SIS certificate. All FS Engineers of the
TÜV Rheinland Functional Safety Program are also listed on the TÜV Rheinland website for
Functional Safety at www.tuvasi.com

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Instrument Engineers, Process Engineers and Process Safety Engineers as well as Senior Operating and
Maintenance personnel who are involved in any of the lifecycle phases for safety instrumented systems
from hazard and risk assessment, shut down system/fire and gas systems design to testing and
maintenance.

The Course Contents and Schedule:

DAY 1 AGENDA

Will cover process hazard analysis and associated risk management using the most popular and
internationally adopted methods and tools. Such hazards can lead to loss of life, damage to their asset, loss
of production and profitability, damage to the environment and company reputation. Participants will be
introduced to the concepts of the main international standards that cover this area of risk assessment and
risk reduction.

Content:

• EC 61508 and IEC 61511 background

• Hazards, Risk and ALARP principles
• Risk Reduction and mitigation
• Safety Instrumented System (SIS) and Safety Instrumented Functions (SIF)
• Types of SIF
• Integrity specification of a SIF
• SIL Determination Exercises
• Layer Of Protection Analysis (LOPA)
• SIL determination using LOPA
• LOPA Exercise
• Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)
• SIL Determination by (FTA)
• Case Studies with typical findings and issues

DAY 2 AGENDA

During the second day delegates will be taken through the

requirements for a Safety Requirements Specification (SRS) and
shown how to undertake appropriate cost effective designs for
Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) and Safety Instrumented
Functions (SIF) and how optimal test and maintenance strategies
for them can be achieved. Participants will be instructed in
methods for calculating the probability of failure on demand (PFD), safe failure fraction and hardware fault
tolerance. The concepts of failure modes, reliability and the influence of common cause failures will
also be covered.

Content:

• Integrity Specification of a SIF

• SIS Safety Requirements Specification
• Selection of Components and Subsystems
• Proven in use
• Field Devices used in SIS
• Failures and failure modes
• Failure and Reliability
• Demand Modes
• Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD)
• PFD Exercises
• SIF Implementation (Low demand mode)
• Importance of Testing and Maintenance
• Fractional Dead Times
• Common cause failures and influence on reliability
• Safe Failure Fraction and Hardware Fault Tolerance
• SFF Exercises
• Partial Closure Testing
• Measurement Validation and Comparison
• Reliability Data

DAY 3 AGENDA

Day 3 will look at the application software requirements for safety instrumented systems (SIS) and the
relationships between hardware and software architecture.

This will include the development of application software specification, module testing requirements and
integration with other SIS subsystems. This final day of tuition will also include techniques for undertaking
more advanced SIL determination and methods for solving more complex safety instrumented functions.

Content:
• Software requirements
• Relationships between Hardware and Software Architecture
• Application Software Requirements Specification
• Application Software Validation Planning
• Requirements for Application Software Architecture
• Requirements for Support Tools, User Manuals and Application Language
• Requirements for Application Module Testing
• Integration of Application Software with SIS Subsystems
• Requirements for Application Module Testing
• Integration of Application Software with SIS Subsystems
• FPL and LVL Software Modification procedures
• Application Software Verification
• SIF Interaction with Other Technologies
• Multiple Functions
• Primary Functions
• Exercises
• Intermediate Trips
• Risk Graph Calibration
• SIL determination for Fire and Gas
• Further Lifecycle Considerations
• Summary of 3-Day Training

DAY 4 AGENDA

A five (5) hour two part proficiency assessment comprising:

• Part 1 = 70 multiple choice questions (1 mark each question);

• Part 2 = 10 multiple part questions (3 marks each question).
The pass score criterion is 75%.

PARTICIPANT ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

In accordance with the TÜV Rheinland Functional Safety Program:

• A minimum of 3 to 5 years experience in the field of functional safety and safety instrumented systems.

• University degree or equivalent engineering experience and responsibilities as certified by employer or

engineering institution.
