Iec 61511 Training

[Fortun Bawa]

ISAand the Automation Standards Compliance Institute (ASCI) worked with industry experts who are active on the ISA/IEC 61511 standard committee to develop three certificate exams that are designed to increase knowledge and awareness of the ISA/IEC 61511 standards. Compliance with the standard requires a focused and continuous approach to functional safety. The standard is a performance-based standard, so there is a need for competent and qualified people to develop and monitor the application of the standard to a facility or process. View the comparison chart here to learn how ISA/IEC 61511 Safety Instrumented Systems Certificate Program compare to other safety programs. The ISA/IEC 61511 specialist certificates are awarded to those who successfully complete a designated training program, any prerequisites (for Certificates 2 and 3), and pass a multiple-choice exam.

Each certificate requires you to successfully complete a course and pass the exam. Registration includes the course and exam fee, which allows you to take one electronic exam and includes application processing fees. To register, click on one of the courses below and complete payment. An ISA/IEC 61511 certificate exam must be taken within six (6) months of the last day of the certificate program required course. Successful completion of Certificate Exam 1 is required to sit for Certificate Exams 2 and 3, but 2 and 3 may be taken in any order. Applicants are notified after completion of required courses that they are eligible to take the exams.

If you want to attend one of the trainings, kindly register directly with the course provider. He would also be the right contact for any further information or details. In case you are not sure, if the training is the right one for you, also contact the course provider. He can consult you and give according recommendations.

Functional safety is the part of a system or equipment that actively and automatically detects a potentially dangerous condition and responds to that input correctly to prevent or mitigate the hazard. Examples include sprinkler systems, overflow valves, circuit breakers and emergency stop switches.

This three-day course provides a comprehensive overview of the IEC 61511:2016 and ANSI/ISA 61511:2018 standards for the process industry. Participants who complete all three days of training can take a two-hour certification exam on the morning of the fourth day. Those who pass the exam earn individual certification as a UL Certified Functional Safety Professional in IEC 61511 or UL-CFSP.

This 4-day course highlights modern-day autonomous robotics, industrial automation, sensors and semi-automated technologies and how they can apply to safety. The course focuses on UL 4600, the Standard for Evaluation of Autonomous Products, and includes information on related safety standards.

This three-day technical training course will cover functional safety standards and concepts related to electronics and semiconductors. IEC 61508 serves as the base functional safety standard for various industries, including process, nuclear and machinery, among others. During the course, we will discuss how to design and develop a functional safety system in a way that provides the developer or manufacturer with the necessary confidence to rely on their functional safety related design work and, ultimately, to help fulfill the requirements necessary for standards certification of products or systems in accordance with IEC 61508 and derivative standards

The training starts with an overview of ISO 26262:2018, followed by an in-depth discussion of all semiconductor key topics in ISO 26262-Part 11: Guidelines on application of ISO 26262 to semiconductors. Our expert instructors will describe functional safety for a wide range of semiconductor technologies and components including microcontrollers, analog and mixed-signal designs, programmable logic devices, memories and IPs. Functional safety analyses such as dependent failure analysis (DFA) and failure modes, effects and diagnostic analysis (FMEDA) are presented from a semiconductor viewpoint, including worked examples of DFA and FMEDA.

This 2.5-day course is for engineers working on programmable machinery and control systems. The training course will cover functional safety standards and concepts related to the EU Machinery Directive, including ISO 13849, Safety of Machinery - Safety-Related Parts of Control Systems; IEC 61800-5-2, Adjustable Speed Electrical Power Drive Systems - Part 5-2: Safety Requirements - Functional; and IEC 62061, Safety of Machinery - Functional Safety of Safety-Related Electrical, Electronic and Programmable Electronic Control Systems.

Functional safety is a critical part of the overall safety of a system or product that depends on the correct execution of specific commands and functions. As products and systems increasingly incorporate complex microelectronics and software and connect to the Internet of Things (IoT), a comprehensive understanding of functional safety is critical to access the global market, meet consumer expectations and protect brand reputation.

The UL Certified Functional Safety Certification program is designed to provide individuals an opportunity to set themselves apart with a credential focused on critical knowledge and skills in the area of functional safety. Individuals certified in this area possess demonstrated knowledge of industry practices as evidenced by the completion of several competencies. Certifications levels are:

We issue two types of Certificates based on the knowledge acquired in Functional Safety according to the international Standards IEC61511 and IEC61508. All of our training courses are taught by highly experienced senior professionals.

Safety instrumented systems (SISs) play a key role in process control to achieve safety and productivity. Their purpose is to take a process to a safe state when predetermined set points are exceeded. SISs are also called emergency shutdown systems, safety shutdown systems, and safety interlock systems.

Several standards have been enacted to address the reliability of SISs. ANSI/ISA S84.00.01-2004, Functional Safety: Safety Instrumented Systems for the Process Industry Sector, first issued in 1996, has now been harmonized with IEC 61511 issued in 2003. In March 2000, OSHA issued a letter, reaffirmed in November, 2005, stating that the S84 standard is considered "good engineering practice" for safety instrumented system design. This effectively makes the S84 standard part of process safety management (PSM) since paragraph (d)(3)(ii) of the OSHA PSM standard specifies: "The employer shall document that equipment complies with recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices".

IEC 61511 / ISA 84 identifies three Safety Integrity Levels (SILs) for the process industries and specifies performance requirements for each level. Different levels of risk require different levels of safety system performance.

This course teaches the important concepts and terms needed to understand the IEC 61511 / ISA 84 standard and it describes its requirements and its relationship to PSM. The detailed requirements for a Process Hazard and Risk Assessment (PHRA) and the allocation of safety functions to protection layers are discussed. A key requirement of IEC 61511 / ISA 84 is the development of a Safety Requirements Specification (SRS). The course explains how to prepare the SRS and attendees develop a SRS in a workshop session.

Understand the overall requirements of the IEC 61511 / ISA 84 standard for SIS. Understand the requirements for a PHRA and the allocation of safety functions and how they relate to PHA. Be able to prepare a SRS for each SIS.

Safety instrumented functions are the last layer of protection and sometimes the first layer of prevention in the process industry. They play a majorly important role in the protection philosophy of process plants. Yet, it is estimated that, worldwide, over 99% (you read that correctly) of SIFs are not SIL compliant.

In this training course, we help you become a internationally recognised certified FS Specialist, TUV FS Engineer or TUV FS Professional. We teach you all you need to know about functional safety and how it applies to safety instrumented systems. With this knowledge, we prepare you for the associated exam if you want to achieve a personal knowledge certificate.

With this training, the associated exam and certification, you become part of the elite professionals that will improve the compliance of Safety Instrumented Systems. You will contribute significantly to achieving safer operating plants.

Key Course Outcomes:

The main objective of this training program is to allow specialists involved in safety instrumented systems to learn the fundamentals of functional safety and the requirements of the functional safety standard IEC 61511. A second objective is to give anybody attending the course the opportunity to certify their knowledge through an exam.

Functional safety is a knowledge-based profession. Do you want to be a FS Specialist? Do you want to be certified? Want to know if you learn something from this course? Answer these questions for yourself:

Your functional safety journey starts with understanding what functional safety actually is and what not. You will find out why it is important, who it is for and how it affects your job, your products/services, your company and even your society.

The concept of functional safety is the same across all industries. A safety system is a safety system no matter where you apply it. In the details it can be very different though. In this module we discuss a number of different standards as they apply to different industry. YOu cannot avoid functional safety any more and it is important to understand its the legal status.

Before you can apply functional safety to your safety function you first need to understand if you need a safety function in the first place. That is why industry applies hazard and risk analysis. Even if the risk is high, it does not mean you will install a safety solution that needs SIL. But if you do, you better correctly specify what this function is suppose to do.
