Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) is one of the most important layers of protection against accidents in a process industry. The design and implementation of such systems meet good engineering practices and avoid failures in the process industry like chemicals, refineries, petrochemicals, power etc. IEC 61511 covers the application of electrical, electronic and programmable electronic equipment. IEC 61511 covers the design and management requirements for SIS throughout the entire safety life cycle. Its scope includes initial concept, design, implementation, operation, and maintenance including decommissioning. It starts in the earliest phase of a project and continues throughout till the end. Hence, in order to ensure functional safety for the process industry, companies need to enroll their professionals for the IEC 61511 functional safety training and certification. This will help them understand the processes necessary for their role in the safety life cycle. For this, they need to be given training in functional safety IEC 61511 and IEC 61508:2017 standards.

This program is designed as a combined capsule on different ...
... modules based on years of practical experience in the field of Functional Safety and participation in relevant standardization committees. The course imparts you required knowledge relating to the existing IEC 61508:2010/IEC 61511:2017 standards for safety-relevant electrical/electronic systems.
