Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) is one of the most important layers of protection against accidents in a process industry. The design and implementation of such systems meet good engineering practices and avoid failures in the process industry like chemicals, refineries, petrochemicals, power etc. IEC 61511 covers the application of electrical, electronic, and programmable electronic equipment.

In this training, you'll learn,

• FSM compliance audits and certifications can be obtained for all stakeholders involved in the implementation (e.g. plant owners, technical consultants, system integrators and product manufacturers/developers) of the functional safety project and the entire audit and certification process
• Compliant with IEC 61511 FSM requirements ensure minimization of systematic errors
• The project is delivered in accordance with international standards IEC 61511 and IEC 61508 regarding safety objectives

This training is delivered as an instructor-led program over 3.5 days and may be conducted either as a live virtual classroom or as an on-site, face-to-face session. This training option does not include the certification exam.

When delivered virtually, the course is conducted live online, allowing participants to join from any internet-accessible location. Each module is facilitated in real time using webinar technology, creating an interactive virtual classroom environment. Participants have direct access to the instructor to ask questions, explore complex concepts, and collaborate with peers. A webcam and microphone are required to fully participate in discussions and activities.

When delivered on site, the training takes place in a traditional classroom setting, with in-person instruction and hands-on interaction between the instructor and participants. This format emphasizes direct engagement, group exercises, and real-time feedback in a collaborative learning environment.

Both delivery options are designed to provide the same high-quality content, interactive learning experience, and instructor support.

Participants that attend the training will receive a TUV SUD Certificate of Attendance.

There are no admission requirements for participation in this training. Recommended is Basic IEC 61508 modules 1-3 if this is your first contact with functional safety development.
