EEMUA 222 provides guidance and recommendations on the application of IEC 61511 for the specification and implementation of safety instrumented systems which are systems designed to bring a process plant to a safe state should a hazardous incident occur. It is intended to explain how to use the IEC 61511 standard effectively and addresses the responsibility and deliverables of organisations involved in the specification, supply and maintenance of safety instrumented systems. IEC 61511, 'Functional safety - Safety instrumented systems for the process industry sector' is now widely accepted as the state of the art for such systems. The EEMUA guide has been written by leading experts, including from EEMUA member companies and with input from the GB Health and Safety Executive. However, it is important to note that EEMUA 222 does not take precedence over, or replace, any requirement of IEC 61511-1 or IEC 61508.
The second edition of EEMUA 222 has been extensively revised by EEMUA to reflect the greater maturity of the standards and of the understanding of functional safety in general. The opportunity has been taken to add new material to cover some of the points of difficulty which are likely to be encountered and for which the standards as yet provide very little guidance.
Some key aspects of EEMUA 222 are the basis of EEMUA's Functional Safety e-learning.
EEMUA also offers introductory e-learning in the areas of Alarm Systems, Control Rooms, and Cyber Security.
