This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2001-07-03. CENELEC members are bound to
comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European
Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.
Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and
notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.
CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands,
Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

Foreword
The text of the International Standard IEC 61508-7:2000, prepared by SC 65A, System aspects, of
IEC TC 65, Industrial-process measurement and control, was submitted to the Unique Acceptance
Procedure and was approved by CENELEC as EN 61508-7 on 2001-07-03 without any modification.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2002-08-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2004-08-01
Annexes designated "normative" are part of the body of the standard.
Annexes designated "informative" are given for information only.
In this standard, annex ZA is normative and annexes A, B, C and D are informative.
Annex ZA has been added by CENELEC.
IEC 61508 is a basic safety publication covering the functional safety of electrical, electronic and
programmable electronic safety-related systems. The scope states:
"This International Standard covers those aspects to be considered when electrical/electronic/
programmable electronic systems (E/E/PESs) are used to carry out safety functions. A major objective
of this standard is to facilitate the development of application sector international standards by the
technical committees responsible for the application sector. This will allow all the relevant factors
associated with the application, to be fully taken into account and thereby meet the specific needs of
the application sector. A dual objective of this standard is to enable the development of
electrical/electronic/programmable electronic (E/E/PE) safety-related systems where application sector
international standards may not exist".
The CENELEC Report R0BT-004, ratified by 103 BT (March 2000) accepts that some IEC standards,
which today are either published or under development, are sector implementations of IEC 61508. For
example:
� IEC 61511, Functional safety - Safety instrumented systems for the process industry sector;
� IEC 62061, Safety of machinery – Functional safety of electrical, electronic and programmable
electronic control systems;
� IEC 61513, Nuclear power plants – Instrumentation and control for systems important to safety –
General requirements for systems.
The railways sector has also developed a set of European Standards (EN 50126; EN 50128 and
prEN 50129).
