In the world of Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) design, we are often asking a critical question: Can our SIF hardware design live up to it's safety promises? In this whitepaper, we take a closer look at one significant player in the equation, Test Coverage Factors, which reflect the effectiveness of testing and maintenance activities in detecting and preventing failures within the SIF.
Understanding Test Coverage Factors is crucial because they reveal how effectively safety checks can identify potential issues in complex systems, such as industrial processes or critical equipment, ultimately contributing to safer operations and peace of mind for everyone involved.
Learn in the whitepaper how Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs) are critical components of a Safety Instrumented System (SIS) and how they are designed to reduce or mitigate risks in industrial processes. A measure used to assess the reliability of a SIF in achieving it's safety function when called upon is the Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD).
We will explore in this whitepaper, Test Coverage Factors and their importance in calculating PFDs.
Takeaway's include:
- How does a Test Coverage Factor affect SIF PFD Calculations?
- How to ensure the Safety and Reliability of SIF in Industrial Settings
- Breaking down Perfect vs Imperfect Testing
