Improving Safety with Standards and Certifications
May 13th, 2009
Globally, safety standards play a key role in designing and executing gas and flame detection projects. These standards, which might seem cumbersome at times, can help engineers make informed decisions. The information in standards can be used to assist in maximizing safety.
In general, four classifications of standards are most relevant to flame and gas detection devices and systems:
- Hazardous Location
- Ingress Protection
- Performance
- Safety Integrity Level (SIL)
This brief paper, presented at the recent ISA Analytic Division Symposium, can give some insight into using standards and certifications to improve safety.
