Study Notes
Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS)
- SIS examples include Critical Control Systems, Safety Shutdown Systems, Instrument Protective Function (IPF), Equipment Protection Systems, and Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD)
International Standards for SIS
- IEC 61508: applicable for manufacturers of devices used in Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS)
- IEC 61511: "Functional Safety: Safety Instrumented Systems for the Process Industry Sector"
- ISA 84.01-2004: identical to IEC 61511, "Functional Safety: Safety Instrumented Systems for the Process Industry Sector"
Classification of SIS
- SIS are classified according to their applicable Safety Integrity Level (SIL)
- SIL is a measure of the performance of a Safety System under demand
Maintenance Strategies
Preventive Maintenance
- Benefits: cost savings, operational continuity, extended lifecycle, optimized performance, energy cost savings, safety, and compliance
- Example: conveyor belt maintenance in a manufacturing setting
Predictive Maintenance (RCM)
- Measures the beginning of system degradation and predicts future functional capability
- Uses real-time data to map out possible machine breakdowns and identify maintenance needs
- Benefits: efficiency, cost reduction, minimized overhauls, and prevention of sudden failures
Reactive Maintenance
- No preventive measures are taken to keep equipment operating as intended by its design
- Maintenance is only done when equipment shows indications of failure
- Advantages: cost-effective in the short term, reduction in upfront maintenance expenses
- Disadvantages: increased downtime costs, higher labor costs, and overtime
Safety Instrumented Functions (SIF)
- Can be implemented using several SIF depending on the safety requirement
- Examples: pressure relief valve, pressure/vacuum valve, and rapture disc

Description
Learn about reactive maintenance, a strategy where equipment is only repaired when it shows signs of failure. Explore examples such as replacing a light bulb and repair work when machinery breaks down.
