must be verified for each application
Systematic Capability :
These products have met manufacturer design process requirements of
FP01, FP02, FP03, Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3. These are intended to achieve sufficient
FP04, FP05, FP03P, integrity against systematic errors of design by the manufacturer.
A Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) designed with this product must not
FP06P, FP10P & FP15 be used at a SIL level higher than stated.
Series Solenoid Valves Random Capability:
The SIL limit imposed by the Architectural Constraints must be met for
each element. This device meets exida criteria for Route 2H.

SIL Verification:
The Safety Integrity Level (SIL) of an entire Safety Instrumented Function (SIF)
must be verified via a calculation of PFH/PFDavg considering redundant
architectures, proof test interval, proof test effectiveness, any automatic
diagnostics, average repair time and the specific failure rates of all products
included in the SIF. Each element must be checked to assure compliance with
80 N Main St
minimum hardware fault tolerance (HFT) requirements.
