22 March 2006, The IEE Savoy Place, London, UK

Organised by the The IEE Functional Safety Professional Network

Introduction
Following on from its highly successful 2005 seminar on Methods and Tools for SIL Determination, and requests for a broader based themed event, the IEE is pleased to announce this second seminar in the SIL Determination series.

Industry increasingly relies upon computer based safety-related systems to achieve tolerable levels of risk.  IEC 61508 and other standards in this series (e.g. IEC 61511 and IEC 62061) are increasingly being used to achieve the required functional safety. A key requirement of these standards is the determination of the functional safety requirements for the safety-related systems comprising the necessary safety functions and the Safety Integrity Level for each safety function. The concept of Safety Integrity Level (SIL) is fundamental in ensuring a safety- related system satisfactorily performs the required safety functions under all stated conditions within a defined time period.

A key feature of the event will be the opportunity to network with other people undertaking SIL determination and to share experiences.  There will also be a small where there will be the opportunity to meet with suppliers of SIL Determination products and services.
