SAFETY MANUAL
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE OF SAFETY
The 8000 series TMR system has been designed and certified for use in safety related
applications. To ensure that systems build upon these foundations, it is necessary to
impose requirements on the way such systems are designed, built, tested, installed
and commissioned, operated, maintained and de-commissioned. This Manual sets
out the requirements to be met during the lifecycle stages of safety-related systems to
ensure that the safety objectives of the safety system are achieved
This Manual is intended primarily for system integrators. It is assumed that the reader
has a thorough understanding of the intended application and can translate readily
between the generic terms used within this Manual and the terminology specific to the
integrator’s or project’s application area.
The TMR system has been independently certified by the German certification
authority Technischer Überwachungs-Verein (TÜV) to meet the requirements of IEC
61508 SIL 3.
The content of this Manual has been reviewed by TÜV and it represents the
requirements that shall be fulfilled to achieve certifiable safety-related systems up to
SIL 3. Conditions and configurations that shall be adhered to if the system is to remain
in compliance with the requirements of SIL 3 are clearly marked.
The information contained in this Manual is intended for use by engineers and system
integrators and is not intended to be a substitute for expertise or experience in safety-
related systems. Requirements for quality systems, documentation and competence
are included within this document; these are requirements, and NOT replacements, for
an operating company’s or integrator's quality systems, procedures and practices. The
system integrator remains responsible for the generation of procedures and practices
applicable to its business, and shall ensure that these are in accordance with the
requirements defined herein. The application of such procedures and practices is also
the responsibility of the system integrator, however, these shall be considered
mandatory for systems for SIL 3 applications.
