The Event
SIScon is the short form for “Safety Instrumented System (SIS) Conference”. SIS, as one state-of-art technology functional safety application in process sectors, is widely adopted globally. IEC 61511 is a technical standard that sets out requirements for the specification, design, installation, operation and maintenance of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), so that it can help achieve or maintain a safe state of the process.
