TÜV Rheinland Physical Training on 10th May, 2024, Singapore

Operation and Maintenance of SIS according to IEC 61511

The IEC 61511 standard has been in place since 2003, and most companies operating in the process, chemical and refining industries as well as other hazardous process manufacturers have adopted its procedures.

It is also significant that any plants that were built at that time with safety instrumented systems (SISs) will now be halfway through their useful life.

This raises the question of how well organizations have been documenting the performance of their SIS in terms of failures, improper trips, time to repair/restore, and proof testing results. 

For SIS, the “Operation and Maintenance” (O&M) phase is more than just operating and maintaining. 

The Operations and Maintenance (O&M) plan is a working document tailored to ensure SIS maintenance meets its designed functional safety and covering:

  • routine and abnormal operation activities
  • proof testing
  • procedures, measures, and techniques ideal for operation and maintenance
  • verification of adherence to protocols
  • period for undertaking such activities
  • identity of the stakeholders.
These requirements place a heavy burden on the O&M personnel who need to have the requisite skill set to be able to maintain the SIS.

The 1-day training course imparts the principles and practices of SIS operation and maintenance in accordance with IEC 61511; our expert will also address the typical challenges in complying with the standard’s requirements.

Join us in this physical training to find out how you can put the best practices in place!

Our Physical Functional Safety training course will be delivered as a full day 7.5 hours session by our in-house expert.
