ACM helps clients build effective SIL Life Cycle programs that include the development, implementation and maintenance of high integrity and critical control systems. These programs enable operations to effectively manage and monitor changes in design and design assumptions. Utilizing our proprietary toolsets, guided by the principles of IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 (Clauses 8 through 15), and applying our in-house expertise we help to make sense of the complicated world of safeguard engineering, ensuring facilities remain safe and operable.
When conducting SIL Verification studies and developing Safety Requirement Specifications, ACM engages the most experienced professionals to work with our clients. This includes not just one, but several TÜV Rheinland Functional Safety certified individuals. There is a strong focus on maintaining clear communication to ensure information is requested and flows in a timely manner. The keys to a successful SIL V and SRS development project are leveraging knowledgeable personnel and good communication.
To assist in maintaining consistency and quality during the project, it is essential to utilize a robust software tool. ACM consultants use our in-house Safeguard Profiler tool which has been built and refined based on our teams’ extensive field experience. With Profiler, a user can create one central repository of information incorporating data from the HAZOP study, LOPA report native file, SIL Verification calculation engine and reports, as well as the Safety Requirement Specification. This cohesive, all-encompassing, full lifecycle tool will eliminate the need to pass information from one tool to the other. The tool will complete complex calculations and build complex models in a user friendly way that is easy to interpret for everyone working on the project including operations, maintenance and those with less experience in SIF design.
