According to IEC 61511-1, paragraph 11.4.4, the failure tolerance HFT
can be reduced by one for service-proven subsystems if the following
conditions are met:
l
The instrument is service proven
l
Only process-relevant parameters can be modified on the instru-
ment (e. g. measuring range, current output in case of failure …)
l The modification of these process-relevant parameters is pro-
tected (e. g. password, …)
l
The safety function requires less than SIL4
The assessment by Change Management was a part of the "service
proven" verification.
