The Two-Barrier Principle
摘要
IGF-Code (IMO, IGF-code: international code of safety for ships using gases or other low-flashpoint fuels. IMO, London, 2016, [1]): “3.2.18 A single failure in a technical system or component shall not lead to an unsafe or unreliable situation.” This FR stipulates that multi failure scenarios are not considered and that the protection against a single failure is sufficient. This is the motivation for the two-barrier principle The 2-barrier principle is a general concept to ensure that a single failure will not lead to an unacceptable dangerous situation. This generic concept is one of the most important principles for an adequate level of safety for system design.
