Abstract(in English) In the international standard of functional safety, IEC 61508, Safety-Related System (SRS) is specified by the Safety Integrity Level (SIL). In order to allocate SIL to SRS, it is necessary to estimate the frequencies of hazardous events which arise in the overall system both with and without the SRS. Kato et al. presented a SIL model based on the theory of average fault-detection interval. This model provides us how to estimate comprehensively the hazardous event frequency, given fault is recovered at a proof test (PT) only. The present paper formulates the hazardous event frequency based on the stochastic model of state-transition diagram by use of the mean down time of SRS. Moreover, Monte-Carlo simulation is studied to analyze the hazardous event frequencies of the system where PTs are performed periodically. Finally, the stochastic model is validated by comparing the results through numerical analyses using both the model and simulation.
