INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION

 


 

MANAGEMENT OF ALARM SYSTEMS FOR THE PROCESS INDUSTRIES

 

FOREWORD

1)   The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to   as   “IEC   Publication(s)”).   Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental   and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.

2)   The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from   all interested IEC National Committees.

3)   IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.

4)   In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.

INTRODUCTION

 

Purpose

 

This International Standard   addresses the development, design, installation, and   management of alarm systems in the process industries. Alarm management includes multiple work processes throughout the alarm system management life cycle. This document defines the terminology and models to develop an alarm system, and it defines the work processes recommended to effectively maintain the alarm system throughout the life cycle. Ineffective alarm systems have often been cited as contributing factors in the investigation reports following major process incidents. This document is intended to provide a methodology that will result in the improved safety, quality, and operation in the process industries.

 

The first edition of this document was adapted from ANSI/ISA-18.2-2009, Management of Alarm Systems for the Process Industries, an International Society of Automation (ISA) standard, and with due consideration of other guidance documents that have been developed throughout industry. This second edition has incorporated some changes made in ANSI/ISA-18.2-2016.

 

This document is not the first effort to define terminology and practices for effective alarm systems. In 1999 the Engineering Equipment and Materials Users’ Association (EEMUA) issued Publication 191, Alarm Systems: A Guide to Design, Management and Procurement, with the 2nd edition published in 2007 and the 3rd edition published in 2013. In 2003 the User Association of Process Control Technology in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries (NAMUR) issued worksheet NA 102, Alarm Management, which was updated in 2008. During the development and maintenance of this document, every effort was made to keep terminology and practices consistent with the previous work of these respected organizations and committees.

 

This document provides requirements for alarm management and alarm systems. It is intended for those individuals and organizations that

a)    manufacture or implement embedded alarm systems,

b)    manufacture or implement install third-party alarm system software,

c)    design or install alarm systems,

d)    operate and/or maintain alarm systems,  and

e)    audit or assess alarm system performance.

 

Organization

This document is organized in two parts. The first part is introductory in nature, (Clauses 1 to 5). The main body of the standard follows (Clauses 6 to 18).

 

The first part (Clause 1 to Clause 3) are normative without any mandatory requirements. Clause 4 contains mandatory requirements. Clause 5 is normative without any mandatory requirements. The main body of the standard (Clause 6 to Clause 18), describes mandatory requirements and non-mandatory recommendations.

 

Within this document, mandatory requirements are stated with "shall", non-mandatory recommendations are stated with "should", and permissible requirements are stated with "may". The phase "is required"  indicates the requirement has been stated  previously in the document.

MANAGEMENT OF ALARM SYSTEMS FOR THE PROCESS INDUSTRIES

 

 

 

 

1      Scope

 

1.1        General   applicability

 

This document specifies general principles and processes for the lifecycle management   of alarm systems based on programmable electronic controller and computer-based human- machine interface (HMI) technology controls system and human-machine interfaces (HMI)

for facilities in the process industries. It covers all alarms to be presented to the operator through the control system, which includes alarms from basic process control systems, annunciators panels, packaged systems, and safety instrumented systems, fire and gas systems, and emergency response systems 2.

 

The practices in this document are applicable to continuous, batch, and discrete processes. There can be differences in implementation to meet the specific needs based on process type.

 

In jurisdictions where the governing authorities (e.g., national, federal, state, province, county, city) have established process safety design, process safety management, or other requirements, in addition to the requirements of this standard, these should be taken into consideration.

 

The primary function within the alarm system is to notify operators of abnormal process conditions or equipment malfunctions and support the response. The alarm systems can include both the basic process control system (BPCS) and the safety instrumented system (SIS), each of which uses measurements of process conditions and logic to generate alarms. Figure 1 illustrates the concepts of alarm and response dataflow through the alarm system. The alarm system also includes a mechanism for communicating the alarm information to the operator via an HMI, usually a computer screen or an annunciator panel. Additional functions of the alarm system are an alarm and event log, an alarm historian, and the generation of performance metrics for the alarm system. There are external systems that can use the data from the alarm system.

 

Figure 1 is not intended to represent physical wiring.

INTRODUCTION

 

This International Standard addresses the development, design, installation, and management of alarm systems in the process industries. Alarm management includes multiple work processes throughout the alarm management life cycle. This document defines the terminology and models to develop an alarm system, and it defines the work processes recommended to effectively maintain the alarm throughout the life cycle. Ineffective alarm systems have often been cited as contributing factors in the investigation reports following major process incidents. This document is intended to provide a methodology that will result in the improved safety, quality, and operation in the process industries.

 

The first edition of this document was adapted from ANSI/ISA-18.2-2009, Management of Alarm Systems for the Process Industries, an International Society of Automation (ISA) standard, and with due consideration of other guidance documents that have been developed throughout industry. This second edition has incorporated some changes made in ANSI/ISA-18.2-2016.

 

This document is not the first effort to define terminology and practices for effective alarm systems. In 1999 the Engineering Equipment and Materials Users’ Association (EEMUA) issued Publication 191, Alarm Systems: A Guide to Design, Management and Procurement, with the 2nd edition published in 2007 and the 3rd edition published in 2013. In 2003 the User Association of Process Control Technology in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries (NAMUR) issued worksheet NA 102, Alarm Management, which was updated in 2008. During the development and maintenance of this document, every effort was made to keep terminology and practices consistent with the previous work of these respected organizations and committees.

 

This document provides requirements for alarm management and alarm systems. It is intended for those individuals and organizations that

 

a)       manufacture or implement embedded alarm systems,

b)       manufacture or install third-party alarm system software,

c)       design or install alarm systems,

d)       operate and maintain alarm systems, and

e)       audit or assess alarm system performance.

This document is organized in parts. The first part (Clause 1 to Clause 3) are normative without any mandatory requirements. Clause 4 contains mandatory requirements. Clause 5 is normative without any mandatory requirements. The main body of the standard (Clause 6 to Clause 18), describes mandatory requirements and non-mandatory recommendations.

 

Within this document, mandatory requirements are stated with "shall", non-mandatory recommendations are stated with "should", and permissible requirements are stated with "may". The phase "is required" indicates the requirement has been stated previously in the  document.

MANAGEMENT OF ALARM SYSTEMS FOR THE PROCESS INDUSTRIES

 

 

 

 

1       Scope

 

1.1              General   applicability

This document specifies general principles and processes for the management of alarm systems based on controls system and human-machine interfaces (HMI) for facilities in the process industries. It covers all alarms to be presented to the operator through the control system, which includes alarms from basic process control systems, annunciators, packaged systems, and safety instrumented systems.

 

The practices in this document are applicable to continuous, batch, and discrete processes. There can be differences in implementation to meet the specific needs based on process type.

 

The primary function within the alarm system is to notify operators of abnormal process conditions or equipment malfunctions and support the response. The alarm systems can include both the basic process control system (BPCS) and the safety instrumented system (SIS), each of which uses measurements of process conditions and logic to generate alarms. Figure 1 illustrates the concepts of alarm and response dataflow through the alarm system. The alarm system also includes a mechanism for communicating the alarm information to the operator via an HMI, usually a computer screen or an annunciator. Additional functions of the alarm system are an alarm and event log, an alarm historian, and the generation of performance metrics for the alarm system. There are external systems that can use the data from the alarm system.

 

Figure 1 is not intended to represent physical wiring.

COMMISSION ÉLECTROTECHNIQUE INTERNATIONALE

 


 

GESTION DE SYSTÈMES D’ALARME

DANS LES INDUSTRIES DE TRANSFORMATION

 

AVANT-PROPOS

1)   La Commission Electrotechnique Internationale (IEC) est   une   organisation   mondiale de normalisation   composée de l’ensemble des comités électrotechniques nationaux (Comités nationaux de l’IEC). L’IEC a pour objet de favoriser la coopération internationale pour toutes les questions de normalisation   dans   les   domaines   de l’électricité et de l’électronique. A cet effet, l’IEC entre autres activités publie des Normes internationales, des Spécifications techniques, des Rapports techniques, des Spécifications accessibles au public (PAS) et des Guides (ci-après dénommés "Publication(s) de l’IEC"). Leur élaboration est confiée à des comités d’études, aux travaux desquels tout Comité national intéressé par le sujet traité peut   participer.   Les   organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l’IEC, participent également aux travaux. L’IEC collabore étroitement avec l’Organisation Internationale de   Normalisation   (ISO),   selon   des conditions fixées par accord entre les deux organisations.

2)   Les décisions ou accords officiels de l’IEC concernant les questions techniques représentent, dans la mesure du possible, un accord international sur les sujets étudiés, étant donné que les Comités nationaux de l’IEC intéressés sont représentés dans chaque comité d’études.

3)   Les Publications de l’IEC se présentent sous la forme de recommandations   internationales   et sont agréées comme telles par les Comités nationaux de l’IEC. Tous les efforts raisonnables sont entrepris afin que l’IEC s’assure de l’exactitude du contenu technique de ses Publications; l’IEC ne peut pas être tenue responsable de l’éventuelle mauvaise utilisation ou interprétation qui en est faite par un quelconque utilisateur final.

4)   Dans le but d’encourager l’uniformité internationale, les Comités nationaux de l’IEC s’engagent, dans toute la mesure possible, à appliquer de façon transparente les Publications de l’IEC dans leurs publications nationales et régionales. Toutes divergences entre toutes Publications de l’IEC et toutes   publications   nationales   ou régionales correspondantes doivent être indiquées en termes clairs dans ces dernières.

5)   L’IEC elle-même ne fournit aucune attestation de conformité. Des organismes de certification indépendants fournissent des services d’évaluation de conformité et, dans certains secteurs, accèdent aux marques   de conformité de l’IEC. L’IEC n’est responsable d’aucun des services effectués par les organismes de certification indépendants.

6)   Tous les utilisateurs doivent s’assurer qu’ils sont en possession de la dernière édition de cette publication.

7)   Aucune responsabilité ne doit être imputée à l’IEC, à ses administrateurs, employés, auxiliaires ou mandataires, y compris ses experts particuliers et les membres de ses comités d’études et des Comités nationaux de l’IEC, pour tout préjudice causé en cas de dommages corporels et matériels, ou de tout autre dommage de quelque nature que ce soit, directe ou indirecte, ou pour supporter les coûts (y compris les frais de justice) et les dépenses découlant de la publication ou de l’utilisation de cette Publication de l’IEC ou de toute autre Publication de l’IEC, ou au crédit qui lui est accordé.

8)   L’attention est attirée sur les références normatives citées dans cette publication. L’utilisation de publications référencées est obligatoire pour une application correcte de la présente publication.

9)   L’attention est attirée sur le fait que certains des éléments de la présente publication de l’IEC peuvent faire l’objet de droits de brevet. L’IEC ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne pas avoir identifié de tels droits de brevets.

INTRODUCTION

 

La présente Norme internationale traite du développement, de la conception, de l’installation et de la gestion de systèmes d’alarme dans les industries de transformation. La gestion des alarmes inclut plusieurs processus de travail pendant tout le cycle de vie de la gestion d’alarme. Le présent document définit la terminologie et les modèles pour développer un système d’alarme, il définit aussi les processus de travail recommandés pour maintenir efficacement l’alarme tout au long du cycle de vie. Des systèmes d’alarme inefficaces ont souvent été cités dans les rapports d’investigation comme des facteurs ayant contribué à des incidents de processus majeurs. Le présent document vise à fournir une méthodologie qui conduit à une sécurité, qualité et exploitation améliorées dans les industries de transformation.

 

La première édition du présent document a été adaptée de la norme ISA (International Society of Automation) ANSI/ISA-18.2-2009 Management of Alarm Systems for the Process Industries, en tenant pleinement compte d’autres documents d’orientation qui ont été élaborés dans l’ensemble du secteur. La présente deuxième édition incorpore certaines   modifications apportées à l’ANSI/ISA-18.2-2016.

 

Le présent document n’est pas le premier effort visant à définir la terminologie et les pratiques pour des systèmes d’alarme efficaces. En 1999, l’EEMUA (Engineering Equipment   and Materials Users’ Association) a produit la Publication 191, Alarm Systems: A Guide to Design, Management and Procurement, avec la deuxième édition parue en 2007 et la troisième édition parue en 2013. En 2003, la NAMUR (User Association of Process Control Technology in Chemical    and    Pharmaceutical    Industries)    a    publié     la    feuille    de    travail    NA 102, Alarm Management, qui a été mise à jour en 2008. Au cours du développement et de la maintenance du présent document, tous les efforts ont été faits pour maintenir la terminologie et les pratiques cohérentes avec le travail antérieur de ces organisations et comités respectés.

 

Le présent document fournit les exigences relatives à la gestion des alarmes et aux systèmes d’alarme. Il est destiné aux personnes et aux organisations qui:

 

a)       fabriquent ou mettent en  œuvre des systèmes d’alarme intégrés;

b)       fabriquent ou  installent des logiciels pour systèmes d’alarme  de  tiers;

c)       conçoivent ou installent des systèmes d’alarme;

d)       exploitent et maintiennent des systèmes d’alarme; et

e)       auditent ou évaluent les performances des systèmes d’alarme.

Le présent document est organisé en plusieurs parties. La première partie (Article 1 à Article 3) est normative sans aucune exigence obligatoire. L’Article 4 contient des exigences obligatoires. L’Article 5 est normatif sans aucune exigence obligatoire. Le corps de la norme (Article 6 à Article 18) fournit les exigences obligatoires et des recommandations non obligatoires.

 

Dans le présent document, les exigences obligatoires sont indiquées par "doit", les recommandations non obligatoires sont indiquées par "il convient" et les exigences admissibles sont indiquées par "peut". L’expression "est exigé" indique que l’exigence a été énoncée précédemment dans le document.

GESTION DE SYSTÈMES D’ALARME

DANS LES INDUSTRIES DE TRANSFORMATION

 

 

 

1       Domaine   d’application

 

1.1              Applicabilité   générale

Le présent document spécifie les principes et les processus généraux pour la gestion de systèmes d’alarme basés sur des systèmes de commande et des interfaces homme-machine (IHM) pour des moyens dans les industries de transformation. Il couvre toutes les alarmes présentées à l’opérateur par le système de commande, qui incluent les systèmes de commande de processus de base, les annonceurs, les systèmes conditionnés et les systèmes instrumentés de sécurité.

 

Les pratiques dans le présent document sont applicables aux processus continus, aux processus par lots et aux processus discrets. Il peut y avoir des différences de mise en œuvre pour satisfaire aux besoins spécifiques en fonction du type de processus.

 

La fonction première du système d’alarme est de notifier aux opérateurs les conditions de processus anormales ou les dysfonctionnements du matériel et d’aider à leur résolution. Les systèmes d’alarme peuvent inclure tant le système de commande de processus de base (BPCS) que le système instrumenté de sécurité (SIS), qui utilisent chacun les mesures des conditions de processus et une logique pour produire des alarmes. La Figure 1 représente les concepts d’alarme et de flux de données de réponse dans le système d’alarme. Le système d’alarme inclut également un mécanisme pour communiquer les informations d’alarme à l’opérateur par l’intermédiaire d’une IHM, habituellement un écran de calculateur ou un annonceur. Les fonctions supplémentaires du système d’alarme consistent en un journal des alarmes et des événements, un historique des alarmes et la production d’une métrique de performances pour le système d’alarme. Il existe des systèmes externes qui peuvent utiliser les données issues du système d’alarme.

 

La Figure 1 ne représente pas le câblage physique.

NOTE 1 Les systèmes conditionnés (par exemple machines frigorifiques) peuvent être inclus dans le système de commande.

 

NOTE 2 Le terme "tableau" peut faire référence à un tableau annonciateur ou à d’autres types de tableaux. NOTE 3 Les lignes sont destinées à représenter le flux de données et non le câblage physique.
