Event Information
ISA-18.2 is the next stage in an ongoing process of increasing safety, reliability, and visibility on the plant floor. The new standard complements the already well-established EEMUA 191 guidelines for Alarm Systems. While EEMUA is focused on benchmarks and metrics, ISA 18.2 establishes clear standards for the overall Lifecycle of Alarm Management with the expectation of a fundamental change in the ways businesses operate their plants. It is expected that this new standard will impact regulatory and reporting requirements in the near future, with particular emphasis on the following industries: Oil & Gas, Power, Nuclear, Commodity Chemicals, Petrochemical & Refining, Mining & Minerals, Pharmaceuticals, Food & Beverage, Pulp & Paper, and Discrete Manufacturing.
