Functional safety - Safety instrumented systems for the process industry sector - Part 1: Framework, definitions, system, hardware and application programming requirements

IEC 61511-1:2016 is available as IEC 61511-1:2016 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 61511-1:2016 gives requirements for the specification, design, installation, operation and maintenance of a safety instrumented system (SIS), so that it can be confidently entrusted to achieve or maintain a safe state of the process. IEC 61511-1 has been developed as a process sector implementation of IEC 61508:2010. The contents of the corrigendum of September 2016 have been included in this copy.

Sécurité fonctionnelle - Systèmes instrumentés de sécurité pour le secteur des industries de transformation - Partie 1: Cadre, définitions, exigences pour le système, le matériel et la programmation d'application

L'IEC 61511-1:2016 décrit les exigences relatives à la spécification, la conception, l'installation, au fonctionnement et à la maintenance d'un système instrumenté de sécurité (SIS, Safety Instrumented System) de manière à ce qu'il puisse être mis en oeuvre en toute confiance pour établir ou maintenir le processus dans un état de sécurité convenable. L'IEC 61511-1 a été conçue pour être une mise en oeuvre de l'IEC 61508:2010 dans le secteur des industries de transformation. Le contenu du corrigendum de septembre 2016 a été pris en considération dans cet exemplaire.
