SIL Certification

SIL certification is applicable for all the electrical, electronic and programmable electronic products or any components which are intended to be used into one or more safety functions as per the requirements of IEC 61508.

Each SIL level represents the extent of risk reduction required to maintain acceptable rate of failure. SIL certification covers assessment of industrial products which are intended to be used in any safety function with respect to the relevant parts and requirements of the IEC 61508 series standard for a safety integrity level. This is generally achieved by an assessment of the product and the processes by a third party assessor.

SIL certification for your product can considered for following reasons:

• SIL certification is mandatory contractual requirement in most of the tenders of PSU’s in India as well as in international clients,  for both mechanical products / systems and for electrical / electronic /programmable electronic products.
• Compliance to the requirements for SIL certification also streamlines your product development and quality management system processes.
• SIL certification provides recognition, increases brand value of your product and opens up new avenues earlier rendered inaccessible.
• SIL certificate most importantly underlines reliability of your product.
   

TUV India can verify customer products and test reports as per the applicable standards of SIL. TUV India / TÜV NORD Italy can  perform the certification of safety-relevant products in the areas of electrical/ electronic/programmable electronic systems (E/E/PE systems), and also offer the following services.

• Performance of fault tree analyses (FTA) and failure mode and effect analyses (FMEA/ FMEDA).
• Determination of safety-related parameters within the framework of IEC 61508, IEC 61511, IEC/EN 62061, EN ISO 13849; such as PFDavg, PFH, HFT, CCF, SFF, λSU, λDU, λDD, λSD etc.
• Verification of functional safety in accordance with IEC 61508, IEC 61511, IEC/EN 62061, ISO 13849,etc.
• Assessment of documentation for management of functional safety and design & development life cycle.

Standards include:

• IEC 61508: Functional Safety of Electrical / Electronic / programmable electronic safety related system
