Loren Stewart, exida Safety Engineer, authored an article for the Summer 2014 issue of Valve Magazine. The article is titled “Evaluating and Proving SIS Safety Levels.”
“Because the equipment used in a safety instrumented system (SIS) application has a critical job, such equipment must be carefully evaluated and justified. This justification must be based on information sufficient for giving those responsible adequate confidence that the equipment will perform as needed for the intended application.”
