SUMMARY:EC52 – Advanced Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Selection
DESCRIPTION:Course Overview \nAdvanced Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Selection (EC52) builds on the foundation established in Safety Instrumented \nSystems: A Lifecycle Approach (EC50). The course focuses on advanced SIL selection techniques and the determination of appropriate risk reduction requirements for safety instrumented systems. \nParticipants apply multiple SIL selection methodologies to avoid over- or under-designing safety systems\, optimizing both safety performance and lifecycle costs. \nCourse Details \nCourse #: EC52 \nDates: October 26–27 \nLength: 2 days \nHours: 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. \nCEUs: 1.4 \nCertificate: Certificate of completion provided \nExam: One exam included with registration \nCertificate Program \nEC52 is part of the ISA/IEC 61511 Safety Instrumented Systems Certificate Program. \nSuccessful completion of the course and exam earns the ISA/IEC 61511 SIS Selection Specialist certificate. \nRequired Prerequisites \nSuccessful completion of EC50 – Safety Instrumented Systems: A Lifecycle Approach \nPassing the ISA/IEC 61511 SIS Fundamentals Specialist exam \nWho Should Take EC52 \n– Control systems engineers and managers \n– System integrators \n– Plant managers \n– Plant safety and risk management personnelLearning Objectives \n– Design and implement different SIL selection techniques \n– Apply risk matrix and risk graph methodologies \n– Perform Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) \n– Determine appropriate performance requirements for safety systems \n– Evaluate the consequences of over- or under-designing safety systems \nTopics Covered \n– Overview of SIL selection challenges \n– Risk matrix methodologies \n– Risk graph methodologies \n– Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA)\ \n– Modified (implicit) LOPA \n– Determining appropriate risk reduction levels \n– Preventing over- or under-designed system requirements \nHands-On Exercises \nThe course consists of multiple application exercises focused on SIL selection. \nParticipants are encouraged to bring real-world examples from their facilities for discussion and analysis. \nImportant Notes \nA hand-held or scientific calculator should be brought to class. \nResources Included \nSafety Integrity Level Selection – Systematic Methods Including Layer of Protection Analysis by Edward M. Marszal\, \nPE and Dr. Eric W. Scharpf (Digital version) \nISA/IEC 61511 series of standards provided for use during the course

SUMMARY:EC54 – Advanced Design and SIL Verification
DESCRIPTION:Course Overview \nAdvanced Design and SIL Verification (EC54) focuses on detailed design issues and hands-on system modeling to verify whether Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) meet required Safety Integrity Levels (SIL). The course teaches participants how to analyze system technologies and configurations\, evaluate existing systems\, and determine whether upgrades are required to meet performance targets. \nEC54 also emphasizes optimizing manual test intervals\, helping organizations reduce costs while maintaining compliance with ISA/IEC 61511. \nCourse Details \nCourse #: EC54 \nDates: October 28–29 \nLength: 2 days \nHours: 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. \nCEUs: 1.4 \nCertificate: Certificate of completion provided \nExam: One exam included with registration \nCertificate Program \nEC54 is part of the ISA/IEC 61511 Safety Instrumented Systems Certificate Program. \nSuccessful completion of the course and exam earns the ISA/IEC 61511 SIS Verification Specialist certificate. \nRequired Prerequisites \nSuccessful completion of EC50 – Safety Instrumented Systems: A Lifecycle Approach \nPassing the ISA/IEC 61511 SIS Fundamentals Specialist exam \nWho Should Take EC54 \n– Control systems engineers and managers \n– System integrators \n– Plant managers \n– Plant safety and risk management personnel \nLearning Objectives \n– Analyze system technologies and configurations against SIL requirements \n– Verify whether existing systems meet required performance targets \n– Determine if system upgrades are necessary \n– Optimize manual proof test intervals \n– Apply detailed design concepts to SIS verification \nTopics Covered \n– System modeling and analysis techniques \n– Field device technologies and configurations \n– Diagnostic coverage and common cause factors \n– Test intervals and imperfect testing considerations \n– Fault tolerance and safe failure fraction \n– System response to faults \n– Using devices for both control and safety \n– Non fail-safe design requirements \n– Interface requirements \nHands-On Exercises \nThe course consists of multiple hands-on system modeling and SIL verification exercises using realistic examples. \nImportant Notes \nA hand-held or scientific calculator should be brought to class. \nResources Included \nISA/IEC 61511 series of standards provided for use during the course \nSafety Instrumented System Design: Techniques and Design Verification \nby Iwan van Beurden and William M. Goble (Digital version)
