Introduction

Welcome to the Home Page of the Cost Effective Modernisation of Systems Important to Safety (CEMSIS) Project.

The aim of the project is to maximise safety and to minimise cost of refurbishments of control and instrumentation Systems Important to Safety (SIS).

The project has developed guidance to help achieve this aim while making use of contemporary commercial technology (e.g. COTS) and developing a set of approaches that build towards common practices within the EU.

Our Strategy

The main innovative aspects of the CEMSIS project are in addressing the following key issues:

Increasing harmonisation of safety justification approaches across Member States
The identification and specification of safety requirements for the replacement SIS
The use of COTS products in SIS, potentially even for Class A Systems
The use of graphical and other notations for safety-related applications
