Manage libraries
Libraries let you capitalize on and reuse your reference data between projects. Instead of recreating the same risk sources, stakeholders, measures or components for every study, you save them once in the library and import them in a few clicks.
Library types
| Library | Content | Module(s) concerned |
|---|---|---|
| Risk sources | Attackers, threats, generic scenarios | EBIOS RM |
| Stakeholders | Suppliers, service providers, partners | EBIOS RM |
| Business values (BV) | Reusable essential assets | EBIOS RM |
| Steps | Attack scenario steps | EBIOS RM |
| Protection measures (PP) | Technical and organizational preventive measures | EBIOS RM, IEC 62443 |
| Treatment measures | Corrective and residual measures | EBIOS RM |
| IEC 62443 | Zones, conduits, normative requirements, organizational measures | IEC 62443 |
| PHA hazards | Hazard catalog by family | Industrial Risks |
| FMEA components | Common equipment with types and descriptions | Industrial Risks |
| HAZOP deviations | Typical nodes and keywords | Industrial Risks |
| LOPA IPL | Protection layers with characteristic PFD | Industrial Risks |
Families and sources
Libraries are grouped into families (ebios, iec62443, risquesindustriels, referentiels, abe). The source is chosen per family, not library by library, in Backup & Sharing.
| Source | Content |
|---|---|
| Default | Libraries built into the application, no synchronization |
| Personal library | Your libraries on the server, shared across all your projects |
| Group library | Shared libraries from a group you belong to |
| Private server | Encrypted local cache, shared between authorized users of the instance |
Reserved to the project owner
Only the owner sets the source. A collaborator receives the copy through the project's normal synchronization.
The copy in the project is frozen
When a project is opened, the library from the chosen source is copied into the project. A later change on the server side does not propagate to projects that have already copied it.
This is deliberate: an analysis must remain identically reproducible, years later.
Import into a project
From any analysis page, click the 📚 Library button (or the label shown on that page) to open the import panel:
- Filter by category or search by name
- Check the items to import
- Click Import selection
The imported items are copied into the current project — any later change in the project does not affect the original library.
Reuse your libraries elsewhere
One single path: the pack
There is no save button on the library pages. To reuse your libraries in other projects or share them with a group, save them as a pack from Backup & Sharing.
The pack captures the libraries currently used by the project, by family, in a dated version. It can be updated, duplicated, published to a group, and restored from its version history — see Library packs.
Edit a library
Editing must be allowed for the project: the "Allow library editing" switch in Backup & Sharing. Changes only affect the project's copy, and are saved automatically.
Libraries page (accessible from the menu)
The dedicated Libraries page lets you manage libraries outside of any project:
- Create, edit, delete entries
- Import external libraries (JSON format)
- Export a library to JSON for sharing or backup
- Merge libraries
Industrial Risks libraries
The Industrial Risks libraries are on page 12 — Libraries of the Industrial Risks module. They are specific to each type of analysis:
PHA hazards
Catalog organized by family: mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical, pressure, radiation, ergonomic, environmental. Each entry contains a standardized label and a description. Import them via the 📚 Hazard library button on the PHA page.
FMEA components
Common industrial equipment with their type and standard description. Import them via 📚 From library on the Modeling page (Components tab).
HAZOP deviations
Typical nodes and predefined keyword/parameter associations. Import them on the HAZOP page.
LOPA IPL
Catalog of typical IPLs with their characteristic PFD:
| IPL type | Typical PFD |
|---|---|
| SIS SIL 1 | 0.1 |
| SIS SIL 2 | 0.01 |
| SIS SIL 3 | 0.001 |
| Safety relief valve | 0.01 |
| Manual isolation valve | 0.1 |
| Operator procedure (BPCS) | 0.1 |
| Containment bund | 0.01 |
Import them from the 📋 Library button on the LOPA page.
