In this video, Jon Keswick, founder of eFunctionalSafety, introduces the topic SIL (Safety Integrity Level) certification versus prior use. Mike Scott, CEO of aeShield, is the special guest speaker with extensive experience in the field, who elaborates on the various aspects of both approaches.
The session covers the nuances of SIL certification, the importance of collecting actual operating data, and the method of evaluating equipment in real-world conditions.
The presentation aims to debunk the myth that SIL certification alone is sufficient, and encourages a data-driven safety management system. They also address practical issues with field devices and provide insights into best practices for maintaining safety instrumented systems.
