About State Management in LOPA

The following states are configured for the LOPA family:

• Planning: Indicates that the analysis is in the Planning state. You can modify or delete a LOPA and its related records (i.e., Conditional Modifiers and Safeguards) only if the LOPA is in Planning state. Additionally, if you have linked the LOPA to a Consequence in the Hazards Analysis, then to add or modify a Safeguard, the Hazards Analysis with which the Consequence is associated must also be in the Planning State.
• Active: Indicates that the LOPA is active.
• Review: Indicates that the LOPA has been sent for review.
• Pending Approval: Indicates that the LOPA has been reviewed and is awaiting approval.

• Complete: Indicates that the analysis is approved. After the state of the LOPA is changed to Complete:

  • A LOPA Revision is created, which stores a snapshot of the LOPA when the state was changed to Complete.
  • The number of revisions for the LOPA is incremented by one, and appears in the upper-right corner of the LOPA Summary workspace.
  • If the LOPA is linked to a LOPA Assessment in an Instrumented Function, then the values in the associated LOPA Assessment are updated based on the values in the LOPA.
