Silmetric Limited
Silmetric was set up after many years experience of helping clients to understand and apply the international functional safety standards within a certification framework. They have a strong belief that when applied correctly, these standards offer enormous benefits to both equipment suppliers and plant operators where functional safety is involved. Their approach always starts with listening to their clients in order to understand their goals and define a clear strategy for success. Through their services, their clients can build evidence of safe and compliant equipment and processes.
Introducing Silmetric . . .
A new company companion
Silmetric provides specialist services in functional safety. They work with equipment suppliers and plant operators, enabling them to understand and apply the international functional safety standards, such as IEC 61508.
Their objective is to enable clients to build evidence of safe and compliant equipment and processes through training, consultancy and independent verification. Their clients typically serve the oil and gas, process, energy, machinery and utility industries.
Instrument manufacturers use Silmetric to establish the reliability data of their devices so that they can be integrated into systems that perform automated safety functions. In the process industry, these functions are specified with a Safety Integrity Level (SIL). In machine safety applications, the Performance Level (PL) parameter is used. Devices include sensors, signal conditioners, analysers, controllers, monitors, isolators, actuators, valves and so on.
Systems integrators use their services to develop the right processes and functional safety management system to design and verify the safety instrumented systems they supply.
Silmetric can assist all organisations in the supply and use of safety devices and systems to understand their legal obligations and comply with the applicable functional safety standards.
Their training courses are specifically tailored for the type of organisation they are assisting. For example, their client may need to develop the capability to perform SIL requirement studies, to perform detailed Failure Modes and Effects Analyses, SIL or PL verification or to institute a functional safety management system with the right lifecycle processes.
The standards have stringent requirements concerning independent functional safety assessments. To ensure transparency and credibility, all Silmetric hardware, software and management system assessments use the industry recognised Contextual Activity Sampling System (CASS) methodology and their assessors meet the strict CASS competence criteria.
