The global importance of SIL (Safety Integrity Levels) has grown substantially in the oil/gas, petrochemical and other process industries over the last 10 years. However, for many end users, systems integrators, and product vendors, SIL is often misinterpreted and incorrectly implemented. This problem leads to confusion and difficulties in selecting the plant instrumentation and automation components necessary to operate a plant and its processes safely.
