The importance of safety instrumented systems is becoming increasingly evident. From Document No. San [2014] 116 issued by the State Administration for Work Safety, which provides guidelines for strengthening the management of safety instrumented systems in the chemical industry, to Document No. Guobanfa [2016] 88 issued by the General Office of the State Council outlining a comprehensive plan for ensuring the safety of hazardous chemicals, and further to Document No. Yingji [2018] 19, which provides guidelines for conducting safety risk assessments and classification of enterprises that produce or store hazardous chemicals, the requirements for safety instrumented systems SIS are becoming ever stricter. For plants that have been in operation for many years, few of them are equipped with ESD systems, let alone SIS systems. So, what impacts will there be if plants that have been in operation for years are unable to install SIS systems for various reasons? Besides the security impacts at the technical level, what are the administrative implications? Such as the renewal of safety production licenses, or ISO certifications, for example? Please talk about the plans for your organization.
