The present paper modifies the algorithm to estimate harmful event frequencies and examines the definition of modes of operation in IEC 61508. As far as the continuous mode concerns, the calculated results coincide with those obtained based on the standard. However, for the intermediate region of medium demand frequencies and/or medium demand durations, the standard gives much higher harmful event frequencies than the real values. In order to avoid this difficulty, a new definition of modes of operation and a shortcut method for allocation of SILs are presented.
