Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Verification Workflow

This workflow provides the basic, high-level steps for performing a Safety Integrity Level (SIL) verification. The steps and links in this workflow do not necessarily reference every possible procedure. For more procedures, see the links in the Related Information section.

Performing an SIL Verification includes the following steps:

  1. Create a Protective Instrument Loop. After you create a Protective Instrument Loop, the GE Digital APM system creates one record for each of its elements.
  2. Provide the details of the following elements of the loop in the corresponding records:

  3. If there are additional elements in the loop apart from the default ones, create records for them. The GE Digital APM system builds the diagram based on the elements that you have added.
  4. Compare the calculated results of the loop to verify if the Safety Integrity Level (SIL) target is achieved.
