SIL Automation & Safety

What is SIL ?

SIL stands for Safety Integrity Level, which measures the expected performance for a security function in order to reduce the risks connected to the process which could be dangerous for people, for the environment, or for property.  There are sometimes 4 safety levels from SIL 1 to SIL 4 for the same process, depending upon the function being analyzed.

SIL and IESA !

Based on our experience in the passenger transport, oil and gas, and nuclear industries, IESA are experts on the regulatory and safety environment.  Our organization and our teams are specifically adapted and trained for the specific needs in each industry.

We realize programs following software quality assurance (SQA) standards, as well as SIL control loop calculations and electrical conception, and design respecting expected norms, which we corroborate with the different control and certification organisations.
