IEC 61508-6:2010 contains information and guidelines on IEC 61508-2 and IEC 61508 3. Annex A gives a brief overview of the requirements of IEC 61508-2 and IEC 61508-3 and sets out the functional steps in their application. Annex B gives an example technique for calculating the probabilities of hardware failure and should be read in conjunction with 7.4.3 and Annex C of IEC 61508-2 and Annex D. Annex C gives a worked example of calculating diagnostic coverage and should be read in conjunction with Annex C of IEC 61508-2. Annex D gives a methodology for quantifying the effect of hardware-related common cause failures on the probability of failure. Annex E gives worked examples of the application of the software safety integrity tables specified in Annex A of IEC 61508-3 for safety integrity levels 2 and 3. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1998. This edition constitutes a technical revision. It has been subject to a thorough review and incorporates many comments received at the various revision stages. NEW! Also available:  IEC Standards+ 61508:2010, containing all parts, together with a commented Redline version. Changes made in this 2nd edition are highlighted and commented by a leading world expert.

Sécurité fonctionnelle des systèmes électriques/électroniques/électroniques programmables relatifs à la sécurité - Partie 6: Lignes directrices pour l'application de la CEI 61508-2 et de la CEI 61508-3

La CEI 61508-6:2010 contient des informations et lignes directrices sur la CEI 61508-2 et la CEI 61508-3. L'Annexe A présente un bref aperçu des exigences de la CEI 61508-2 et de la CEI 61508-3 et établit les étapes fonctionnelles de leur application. L'Annexe B donne une technique servant d'exemple pour le calcul des probabilités de défaillance du matériel; il convient de la lire conjointement au 7.4.3 et à l'Annexe C de la CEI 61508-2, et à l'Annexe D. L'Annexe C donne un exemple élaboré de calcul de la couverture de diagnostic; il convient de la lire conjointement avec l'Annexe C de la CEI 61508-2. L'Annexe D donne une méthodologie de quantification de l'effet des défaillances de cause commune relatives au matériel sur la probabilité de défaillance. L'Annexe E donne des exemples d'application des tableaux d'intégrité de sécurité du logiciel spécifiés dans l'Annexe A de la CEI 61508-3 pour les niveaux 2 et 3 d'intégrité de sécurité. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition publiée en 1998 dont elle constitue une révision technique. Elle a fait l'objet d'une révision approfondie et intègre de nombreux commentaires reçus lors des différentes phases de révision.

Funkcijska varnost električnih/elektronskih/elektronsko programirljivih varnostnih sistemov - 6. del: Smernice za uporabo IEC 61508-2 in IEC 61508-3 (IEC 61508-6:2010)

1.1 Ta del IEC 61508 vsebuje informacije in smernice o IEC 61508-2 in IEC 61508-3.
– dodatek A podaja kratek pregled zahtev IEC 61508-2 in IEC 61508-3 ter določa funkcijske stopnje pri njihovi uporabi;
– dodatek B podaja vzorčno tehniko za izračun verjetnosti okvare strojne opreme in se mora brati v povezavi s 7.4.3 in dodatkom C IEC 61508-2 in dodatkom D;
– dodatek C podaja zgled za izračun diagnostične pokritosti in se mora brati v povezavi z dodatkom C IEC 61508-2;
– dodatek D podaja metodologijo za kvantifikacijo učinka pogostih vzrokov okvar, povezanih s strojno opremo, na verjetnost okvare;
– dodatek E podaja zgled za uporabo preglednic celovite varnosti programske opreme, ki jih določa dodatek A IEC 61508-3, za raven celovite varnosti 2 in 3.
1.2 IEC 61508-1, IEC 61508-2, IEC 61508-3 in IEC 61508-4 so osnovne varnostne objave, čeprav ta status ne velja v okviru nezapletenih varnostnih sistemov E/E/PE (glej točko 3.4.3 IEC 61508-4). Kot osnovne varnostne objave so namenjeni temu, da jih uporabljajo tehnični odbori pri pripravi standardov v skladu z načeli, opredeljenimi v Vodilu IEC 104 in Vodilu ISO/IEC 51. IEC 61508-1, IEC 61508-2, IEC 61508-3 in IEC 61508-4 se lahko tudi uporabijo kot samostojne objave. Horizontalno varnostno delovanje tega mednarodnega standarda ne velja za medicinsko opremo v skladu s serijo IEC 60601.
1.3 Ena od odgovornosti tehničnega odbora je, če je primerno, da uporabi temeljne varnostne objave pri pripravi svojih objav. V tem okviru zahteve, preskusne metode ali preskusni pogoji te temeljne varnostne objave ne veljajo, razen če se objave, ki so jih pripravili tehnični odbori, nanje izrecno sklicujejo ali jih vključujejo.
1.4 Slika 1 prikazuje celoten okvir serije IEC 61508 in nakazuje vlogo IEC 61508-6 pri doseganju funkcijske varnosti E/E/PE-varnostnih sistemov.
