Safety Instrumented FunctionSIF
A specific safety function implemented by a Safety Instrumented System.
A SIF is defined by its sensors, logic solver, and final elements (e.g., shut-off valve). Each SIF has an assigned SIL. Examples: high-pressure shutdown, emergency depressurisation, burner management system trip. The full collection of SIFs in a facility forms the Safety Instrumented System (SIS).
