3.4 Characteristic Safety Values
The characteristic safety values like PFD, SFF, HFT and T
1
are taken
from the SIL report/FMEDA report. Observe that PFD and T
1
are related to each other.
The function of the devices has to be checked within the proof test interval (T
1
).

"No effect failures" are not influencing the safety function and are therefore not included in SFF and in the failure rates
of the safety function.

acc. to SN29500. This value includes failures which are not part of the safety function/MTTR = 8 h. The value is calculated
for one safety function of the device.

Since the current PTC value is < 100 % and therefore the probability of failure will increase, calculate the PFD value according
to the following formula:
PFD
avg
= (

A service time T

of 10 years was assumed for the calculation of PFD
