Safety barriers take an important part of industrial risk management. Even if these systems are not triggered frequently, when an initiating event occurs (overpressure, overflow, etc.), they aim at preventing undesired events on people, environment, and goods. Proof tests have therefore to be performed in order to check the functional state of the safety barriers and, if required, to perform the appropriate maintenance actions. Dependability criteria have then to be assessed by a practical model. A set of general formulas is proposed for the probability of failure on demand (PFD) assessment of systems subject to partial and full tests. Partial tests (e.g. visual inspections, imperfect testing) may detect only some failures, whereas owing to...
