ISA84 Safety Instrumented Systems Certificate Programs

Founded in 1945, the International Society of Automation (www.isa.org) is a leading, global,

nonprofit organization that is setting the standard for automation by helping over 30,000

worldwide members and other professionals solve difficult technical problems, while enhancing

their leadership and personal career capabilities. Based in Research Triangle Park, North

Carolina, ISA develops standards; certifies industry professionals; provides education and

training; publishes books and technical articles; and hosts the largest conference and exhibition

for automation professionals in North America. ISA is the founding sponsor of The Automation

Federation (www.automationfederation.org).

ISA84 Certificate Programs

ISA and the Automation Standards Compliance Institute (ASCI)

have introduced three certificate programs to increase knowledge

and awareness of the ISA84 standard.

Each certificate program includes specialized training on ISA84 and

an exam that is offered through Prometric testing centers. Those

who register for the training course and the certificate program, and

successfully complete the exam, will be issued an ISA certificate

specifying their expertise as an

• ISA84 SIS Fundamentals Specialist (ISA84 SFS) - Certificate 1

• ISA84 SIL Selection Specialist (ISA84 SSS) - Certificate 2

• ISA84 SIL Verification Specialist (ISA84 SVS) - Certificate 3

You can register for the course only, without exam, if you do not

want to apply for the certificate program.

Safety professionals who successfully complete all three certificate

programs are designated as an ISA84 SIS Expert.

Certificate vs. Certification Programs

Certificate programs are typically associated with mastery of

specific course content and may or may not require work

experience, while certification programs are based on a job analysis

identifying specific knowledge, skills, and attributes to perform a

specific job and require that successful candidates demonstrate

identified knowledge, skills, and attributes beyond any educational

program.
