Fire & gas fire extinguishing systems

SV Sistemi di Sicurezza is enabled to sign the 818 project and offers all its customers a very detailed final documentation.

We report the failures that are regularly carried out:

1) Fire risk analysis within the overall risk analysis of the Site
2) SIL (Safety Integrity Level) classification of the fire safety functions in the SIL evaluation of the process, when the fire safety functions are considered as safety functions;
3) Review of the Code (NFPA) and local needs and compliance with the requirements of the competent authorities (AHJ);
4) Preliminary design of fire and fire alarm systems for acceptance by local authorities

SIL functional safety and remote fire management

The technological evolution and the growing performance requirements of automatic fire detection and extinguishing systems; have introduced two new features of the fire alarm control panels: the sil functional safety of the systems and the remote management of the systems.

Why choose SIL functional safety

The safety integrity level (SIL); is a discrete number indicating the value of the probability that a system will correctly perform an instrumental safety function; within a set period of time. The SIL is assigned to every single independent safety function (SIF), realized through one or more Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS).

It is expressed with a number between 1 and 4; where Safety Integrity Level 4 has the highest value and Safety Integrity Level 1 has the lowest. In practice, SIL is a quantitative measure of the probability that a given protection function is not performed if intervention is required; and allows the designer to reduce the risk of a dangerous situation and quantify the reduction.
