This work analyses the problem of epistemic uncertainty in assessing the performance evaluation of safety instrumented systems (SIS). Two evaluation methods are applied to an SIS. The first evaluation method uses the faults trees; the second method is based on the use of the Markov chains. The imperfect knowledge concerns the parameters characteristic of the SIS, such as such as the failure rate and common cause failure factor. The elementary probabilities of fault trees are replaced by mathematical models allowing experts to express their uncertainty in the unreliability values and other system parameters. We show how the imprecision on the characteristic parameter values, such as the common cause failure factor, induces significant change...
