Esferomatic Eccentric Ball Valve Series Achieves IEC 61508 SIL Certification
The Esferomatic Eccentric Ball Valve Series has achieved SIL certification in accordance with IEC 61508 — independently certified by Risknowlogy — confirming verified safety integrity for use in critical process applications.
Certification Achieved
Esferomatic's Eccentric Ball Valve Series is now independently certified as SIL-capable under IEC 61508. The certification covers the safety integrity, hardware fault tolerance, and reliability performance of the valve series as used in safety instrumented functions.
For end-users and EPC contractors, this removes a significant burden from SIL verification activities and supports faster, more confident safety case development.
Standard: IEC 61508. Product type: Eccentric ball valves for use in SIS final elements.
What This Means for the Process Industry
Valves are among the most safety-critical components in a safety instrumented function. Independent SIL certification confirms that the product's claimed safety performance has been assessed against a recognised international standard — and that the evidence base is auditable.
