exida created the 'Safety Equipment Reliability Handbook' to solve that problem.
The first edition of the 'Safety Equipment Reliability Handbook' was a number-one bestseller from exida and completely sold out its print runs.
This new second edition not only includes all first-edition equipment items with the relevant updates, it also delivers additional data for over 250 new items of equipment.
The result is that the size of the book and the information it provides have more than doubled.
With these features, the company describes the 'Safety Equipment Reliability Handbook', 2nd edition, as the 'must have' handbook for any engineer actively involved in Safety Integrity Level (SIL) verification analyses.
It provides a tremendous amount of detailed failure rate data for both specific manufacturers' products as well as generic items of equipment.
Many companies have already standardised their reliability evaluations on reliability data published by exida.
With this new expanded edition, the 'Safety Equipment Reliability Handbook' provides an excellent reference source for safety system engineers.
The 'Safety Equipment Reliability Handbook', Second Edition, has the reference ISBN-13 978-0-9727234-1-1.
exida main offices are in Sellersville, USA and Munich, Germany, with a network of service centres in the USA, Canada, UK, Netherlands, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
