EN 15233:2007 (E) 4 Introduction The function of this type A standard is to describe principles for a consistent systematic procedure for functional safety assessment for the design and manufacture of protective systems. Annex A

18、 is informative and contains methods for estimating and assessing functional safety and reliability. Annex B is informative and contains an example for functional safety assessment of a protective system. Performing functional safety assessment is referred to in written instructions for use and poss

19、ible additional precautions are introduced in the documentation. It is in both the manufacturers and users interest to establish a common methodology for achieving functional safety, reliability and effectiveness in the operation of protective systems. Thus, functional safety assessment is a tool wh

20、ich provides the essential link between manufacturers and users, however, only aspects which directly address manufacturers are incorporated in this standard. Integrated explosion safety is conceived to prevent the formation of explosive atmospheres as well as sources of ignition and, should an expl

21、osion nevertheless occur, to halt it immediately and/or to limit its effects. In this connection protective systems must be designed and constructed after due analysis of possible operating faults that limit or prevent the capacity of the system to stop an explosion. Therefore it is absolutely neces

22、sary to conduct a functional safety assessment process. EN 15233:2007 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard provides guidance on the procedure and information required to allow functional safety assessment to be carried out for the design of protective systems. The purpose of this European Standard i

23、s to assist technical standardization committees responsible for specific families of protective systems in preparing safety standards. Such standards should be as homogenous as possible and should have the basic structure of functional safety assessment as it is stated in this standard. If there ar

24、e no specific standards for a particular protective system, the manufacturer should use this standard for functional safety assessment of this protective system. In this procedure the following information is to be taken into account to ensure a sufficient level of functional safety: a) intended use

25、, b) possible operating faults, c) reliability of protective systems, d) misuse which can reasonably be anticipated. A sufficient level of functional safety is characterized by the following objectives: 1) System can stop an explosion at a very early stage or reduce the impact of an explosion to an

26、acceptable level. 2) In the event of faults, failures and/or interference1)the capacity to function remains effective by use e.g. of fail safe techniques or redundancy. This European Standard does not cover identification of possible ignition sources. NOTE 1 The identification of possible ignition s

27、ources is covered by EN 15198. This European Standard only deals with the functional behaviour of the protective system i.e. hazards caused by malfunctions, e.g. false activations are excluded. This European Standard specifies neither specific methods to analyse fault conditions, nor specific requir

28、ements for a given type of protective system (see EN 1127-1). It specifies the methodology of functional safety assessment. This European Standard provides advice for decisions to be made for all types of protective systems referred to in EU Directive 94/9/EC, but does not provide means to prove the

29、 conformity of a given type of protective systems. NOTE 2 Equipment is dealt with in EN 15198 owing to the fact that the procedure and information required to allow ignition hazard assessment is different from the procedure above. 1) Interference is everything in normal operation that can disturb th

30、e normal operation of the system e.g. electromagnetic waves, heat, flames and pressure waves.

For undated refere

31、nces, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 13237:2003, Potentially explosive atmospheres Terms and definitions for equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this d

32、ocument, the terms and definitions given in EN 13237:2003 and the following apply. 3.1 failure event, or inoperable state, in which any system item or part of an item or any management function task or process does not, or would not, perform as previously specified ISO/IEC Guide 73:2002 3.2 function

33、al safety part of the overall safety relating to the intended use in terms of the function and integrity of the protective system including any safety related devices that are part of the protective system performance NOTE 1 Functional safety covers all aspects where safety depends on the correct fu

34、nctioning of the protective system and other technology safety-related systems. NOTE 2 This definition deviates from the definition in EN 61508-4 to reflect differences in explosion safety terminology. 3.3 protective system device other than components of the equipment, which is intended to halt inc

36、e protective system 3.5 functional safety evaluation procedure to determine whether the functional safety of the protective system meets the predefined acceptance criteria 4 General requirements 4.1 Basic concept Functional safety assessment is a series of logical steps (see Figure 1) that enable de

37、signers and safety engineers to examine in a systematic way, the function of a protective system or a part of it. The objective shall be to achieve an adequate level of functionality and reliability according to the state of the art and technical and economic requirements at the time of construction

38、. EN 15233:2007 (E) 7 This assessment includes the following four steps: a) description of the protective system (5.2); b) identification of failures (5.3); c) functional safety estimation (5.4); 1) functionality; 2) reliability; d) functional safety evaluation (5.5). These four steps are the basis

39、for the decision whether the intended level of functional safety necessary for the intended use is achieved. The result of the assessment shall be detailed in the technical documentation (see Clause 6). If the required function and level of reliability is not achieved, it shall be necessary to impro

40、ve the protective system or to define an appropriate intended use. NOTE The choice of the suitable measures is not part of the standard. If the assessment is done by the manufacturer the result of the assessment shall be detailed in the technical documentation (see Clause 6). Decisions in functional

41、 safety assessment shall be supported by qualitative methods complemented, where appropriate, by quantitative methods. 4.2 Extent of functional safety assessment The protective system shall be assessed on the basis of the information specified in 4.3. The functional safety assessment shall be limite

42、d to the intended use and the misuse, which can reasonably be anticipated for a particular protective system. NOTE Misuse which can reasonably be anticipated means an incorrect use and/or operation of the protective system by the operator due to negligence or misunderstanding. Misuse is not part of

43、the normal operation. Intent is not included in foreseeable misuse. 4.3 Information needed The information needed to perform the functional safety assessment shall include the following where appropriate: a) intended use; b) safety characteristics used for the design of protective systems; c) requir

44、ements for maintenance; d) actual and foreseeable surrounding area conditions; e) relevant design drawings; f) results of design calculations made, examinations carried out; if available: EN 15233:2007 (E) 8 g) test reports; h) accident history; i) publications on relevant safety aspects. If an acci

45、dent history is not available for the protective system, available information for similar protective systems shall be used; it is unlikely that the protective system is so unique that similar protective systems cannot be found. The absence of an accident history, a small number of accidents or low

46、severities of accidents shall not be taken as an automatic presumption of a low risk. Possible additional precautions shall be documented. The information shall be updated as the design develops and modifications are required. For quantitative assessment, data from data bases, handbooks, laboratorie

47、s and manufacturer specifications shall be used provided there is confidence in its suitability. Any uncertainty associated with the data shall be documented. NOTE The data is used to define foreseeable operation requirements related to reliability, serviceability, durability, disposability, benign

48、failure and failsafe characteristics and labelling, warnings, identification, traceability requirements and instructions. Data based on the consensus of expert opinion derived indirectly from experience as opposed to measured data, may be used to supplement qualitative assessment. 5 Functional safet

49、y assessment procedure 5.1 Principle The principal steps for the functional safety assessment procedure are shown in Figure 1. It is comprised of four steps taking into consideration the information in the oval blocks. Maintenance requirements shall also be considered in the assessment. The manufacturer shall consider all necessary maintenance requirements in the instruction manual and shall also consider lack of maintenance relevant for the intended use.
