Term Definition
Basic safety Freedom from unacceptable risk of harm
BPCS Basic Process Control System – a system which responds to input signals from the
process, its associated equipment, other programmable systems and/or an
operator and generates output signals causing the process and its associated
equipment to operate in the desired manner but which does not perform any
safety instrumented functions with a claimed SIL greater than or equal to 1.
Fail Safe State State where the switch output is in the state corresponding to an alarm
condition. In this condition, the switch contacts will normally be open.
Fail Dangerous Failure that does not respond to an input from the process (i.e. not switching to
the fail-safe state).
Fail Dangerous
Detected
Failure that is dangerous but is detected.
Fail Dangerous
Undetected
Failure that is dangerous and that is not detected.
Fail No Effect Failure of a component that is part of the safety function but that has no effect on
the safety function.
Fail Safe Failure that causes the switch to go to the defined fail-safe state without an input
from the process.
FIT FIT is the abbreviation for Failure In Time. One FIT is 1x10
-9
failure per hour
FMEDA Failure Modes, Effects and Diagnostic Analysis
Functional Safety Part of the overall safety relating to the process and the BPCS which depends on
the correct functioning of the Safety Instrumented System (SIS) and other
protection layers.
HFT Hardware Fault Tolerance
Low demand Mode of operation, where the frequency of demands for operation made on a
safety-related system is no greater than twice the proof test frequency.
PFD
AVG
Average Probability of Failure on Demand
SFF Safe Failure Fraction – a fraction of the overall random failure rate of a device that
results in either a safe failure or a detected dangerous failure.
SIF Safety Instrumented Function – a safety function with a specified SIL which is
necessary to achieve functional safety. Typically a set of equipment intended to
reduce the risk due to a specified hazard (a safety loop).
SIL Safety Integrity Level - a discrete level (one out of four) for specifying the safety
integrity requirements of the safety instrumented functions to be allocated to
the safety instrumented systems. SIL 4 has the highest level of safety integrity,
and SIL 1 has the lowest level.
SIS Safety Instrumented System (SIS) – an instrumented system used to implement
one or more safety instrumented functions. An SIS is composed of any
combination of sensors, logic solvers, and final elements.
