Nonlife-threatening situations

Serious Consequences - Class 2. Containment equipment whose failure could possibly cause uncontrolled releases of dangerous materials, situations which could result in accidental fires and explosions, with minimal off-site problems. Such a failure could have resulted in serious conditions involving environmental releases, property or production losses, or other nonlife-threatening situations. This equipment is given a slightly lower priority. However, the equipment is also inspected and tested on a regular schedule, but may be allowed to have some leniency in compliance. 

These serious consequence instrument loops are those instrument systems whose failure could cause, or fail to inform of, serious conditions involving environmental releases, major property or production losses, or other nonlife-threatening situations.
