Certification
Processes & Systems
IEC 61511 Certified Integrator Program (for integrators, engineering companies)A program which certifies that project execution practices are compliant to IEC 61511 / ISA84 and that SIS applications are designed and engineered per IEC 61511.
The 61511 integrator certification program’s design is tailored to address the specific safety engineering tasks that will be executed by the integrator / engineering company. This means if your company specializes in the design and engineering of the SIS application then the certification program will reflect this. The program is customized for each company based the selection of tasks (chosen a la carte) from the selection below:
| ✔ | Activity / Task | Clause (IEC 61511) |
|---|---|---|
| Hazard Identification | 8 | Consequence Analysis | 9 a | Identify Protection Layers, Likelihood Analysis | 9 b | SIL Selection | 9 c | SRS Development | 10 | SIS Design & Engineering | 11 | Application Software | 12 | Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) | 13 | SIS installation and commissioning | 14 | SIS safety validation / Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) | 15 |
