How to calculate SIL rating with PFD values as input
SIL Rating Calculator (IEC 61508/61511)

SIL Verification Calculator

Calculate PFDavg, RRF, and determine Safety Integrity Level based on IEC 61508/61511.

1. SIF Component Inputs (PFD)

Probability of Failure on Demand for Sensors

Probability of Failure on Demand for PLC/Logic

Probability of Failure on Demand for Valves/Actuators

2. Safety Requirements

The maximum allowed PFD to meet safety goals.

SIL Ratings (IEC 61508 / 61511 Low Demand)

SIL PFD Range (avg) RRF Range
SIL 4 \( \ge 10^{-5} \text{ to } < 10^{-4} \) 10,000 - 100,000
SIL 3 \( \ge 10^{-4} \text{ to } < 10^{-3} \) 1,000 - 10,000
SIL 2 \( \ge 10^{-3} \text{ to } < 10^{-2} \) 100 - 1,000
SIL 1 \( \ge 10^{-2} \text{ to } < 10^{-1} \) 10 - 100

Disclaimer: This tool is to check if the available SIF is adequate to meet the tolerable Risk rate or not. It assumes the user has already calculated the PFD values based on the selected architectures (i.e., 1oo1, 1oo2, etc.) considering all the factors like Proof testing intervals, Beta factor, CCF, etc.
