1.2 Termsandabbreviations
SafetyIntegrityLevel(SIL):
Four discrete levels (SIL1 to SIL4). The higher the
safety integrity level of a safety-related system, the
lower the probability that it will not perform the re-
quired safety functions.
AverageProbabilityofFailureonDemand
(PFD
avg
):
Average probability of failure of a safety function
working in low demand mode of operation.
ProbabilityofFailureperHour(PFH):
VAverage probability of failure of a safety function
working in high demand or continuous mode of op-
eration.
SafeFailureFraction(SFF):
Percentage part of safe failures and dangerous de-
tected failures of a safety function or a sub-system
related to all failures.
HardwareFaultTolerance(HFT):
HFT = n means, that n+1 faults could cause a loss
of the safety function.
Lowdemandmodeofoperation:
Frequency of demands on a safety-related system
no greater than one per year and no greater than
twice the proof-test frequency.
