Safety Requirements Specification
The Safety Requirements Specification (SRS) is a core document, which is used as the main reference to be followed by designers, installers, and operators of a Safety Instrumented Function (SIF). The SRS details all the crucial functional and integrity requirements for each of the SIFs. Prior to commissioning, the SIF is normally validated against the SRS to ensure that all the stated requirements are met.
