Understanding Safety Integrity Levels

Safety Integrity Level (SIL) defines the level of risk reduction provided by a safety function or instrumented function, with SIL 4 being the most dependable and SIL 1 being the least. SIL is determined based on quantitative factors like development process and safety life cycle management, though requirements are not consistent across functional safety standards which define four SILs based on the IEC 61508 standard in Europe.

Safety Integrity Level (SIL) is defined as a relative level of risk-reduction provided by a safety

function, or to specify a target level of risk reduction. In simple terms, SIL is a measurement of
performance required for a Safety Instrumented Function (SIF).

The requirements for a given SIL are not consistent among all of the functional safety standards.
In the European Functional Safety standards based on the IEC 61508 standard four SILs are
defined, with SIL 4 being the most dependable and SIL 1 being the least. A SIL is determined
based on a number of quantitative factors in combination with qualitative factors such as
development process and safety life cycle management.
