BS EN 61508 and BS EN 61511 Standards
Demonstrating Functional Safety Management for work at Murco Petroleum
Murco Petroleum uses the IEC61508 group of standards for their safety instrumented systems. Under IEC61508 2nd edition vendors and suppliers are required to demonstrate Functional Safety Management. This is now a mandatory requirement as it exists in the Normative Part 1 of the standard and covers any service being provided with the safety instrumented systems (for example installation, panel building, maintenance etc). The Functional Safety Management must comply with IEC61508 Part 1 clause 6 and IEC61511 Part 1 clause 5
