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 so namenjeni tudi uporabi kot samostojni standardi. 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.
OPOMBA: Funkcijska varnost varnostnih sistemov E/E/PE se lahko doseže le, ko so izpolnjene vse povezane zahteve. Zato je pomembno, da se vse povezane zahteve natančno obravnavajo in so primerno navedene.

electronic safety-related systems

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

INTRODUCTION
Systems comprised of electrical and/or electronic elements have been used for many years to
perform safety functions in most application sectors. Computer-based systems (generically
referred to as programmable electronic systems) are being used in all application sectors to
perform non-safety functions and, increasingly, to perform safety functions. If computer
system technology is to be effectively and safely exploited, it is essential that those
responsible for making decisions have sufficient guidance on the safety aspects on which to
make these decisions.
This International Standard sets out a generic approach for all safety lifecycle activities for
systems comprised of electrical and/or electronic and/or programmable electronic (E/E/PE)
elements that are used to perform safety functions. This unified approach has been adopted
in order that a rational and consistent technical policy be developed for all electrically-based
safety-related systems. A major objective is to facilitate the development of product and
application sector international standards based on the IEC 61508 series.
NOTE 1 Examples of product and application sector international standards based on the IEC 61508 series are
given in the Bibliography (see references [1], [2] and [3]).
In most situations, safety is achieved by a number of systems which rely on many
technologies (for example mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, electronic,
programmable electronic). Any safety strategy must therefore consider not only all the
elements within an individual system (for example sensors, controlling devices and actuators)
but also all the safety-related systems making up the total combination of safety-related
systems. Therefore, while this International Standard is concerned with E/E/PE safety-related
systems, it may also provide a framework within which safety-related systems based on other
technologies may be considered.
It is recognized that there is a great variety of applications using E/E/PE safety-related
systems in a variety of application sectors and covering a wide range of complexity, hazard
and risk potentials. In any particular application, the required safety measures will be
dependent on many factors specific to the application. This International Standard, by being
generic, will enable such measures to be formulated in future product and application sector
international standards and in revisions of those that already exist.
This International Standard
– considers all relevant overall, E/E/PE system and software safety lifecycle phases (for
example, from initial concept, though design, implementation, operation and maintenance
to decommissioning) when E/E/PE systems are used to perform safety functions;
– has been conceived with a rapidly developing technology in mind; the framework is
sufficiently robust and comprehensive to cater for future developments;
– enables product and application sector international standards, dealing with E/E/PE
safety-related systems, to be developed; the development of product and application
sector international standards, within the framework of this standard, should lead to a high
level of consistency (for example, of underlying principles, terminology etc.) both within
application sectors and across application sectors; this will have both safety and economic
benefits;
– provides a method for the development of the safety requirements specification necessary
to achieve the required functional safety for E/E/PE safety-related systems;
– adopts a risk-based approach by which the safety integrity requirements can be
determined;
– introduces safety integrity levels for specifying the target level of safety integrity for the
safety functions to be implemented by the E/E/PE safety-related systems;
NOTE 2 The standard does not specify the safety integrity level requirements for any safety function, nor does it
mandate how the safety integrity level is determined. Instead it provides a risk-based conceptual framework and
example techniques.
– 8 – 61508-2 © IEC:2010
– sets target failure measures for safety functions carried out by E/E/PE safety-related
systems, which are linked to the safety integrity levels;
– a low demand mode of operation, the lower limit is set at an average probability of a
–5
dangerous failure on demand of 10 ;
– a high demand or a continuous mode of operation, the lower limit is set at an average
–9 –1
frequency of a dangerous failure of 10 [h ];
NOTE 3 A single E/E/PE safety-related system does not necessarily mean a single-channel architecture.
NOTE 4 It may be possible to achieve designs of safety-related systems with lower values for the target safety
integrity for non-complex systems, but these limits are considered to represent what can be achieved for relatively
complex systems (for example programmable electronic safety-related systems) at the present time.
– sets requirements for the avoidance and control of systematic faults, which are based on
experience and judgement from practical experience gained in industry. Even though the
probability of occurrence of systematic failures cannot in general be quantified the
standard does, however, allow a claim to be made, for a specified safety function, that the
target failure measure associated with the safety function can be considered to be
achieved if all the requirements in the standard have been met;
– introduces systematic capability which applies to an element with respect to its confidence
that the systematic safety integrity meets the requirements of the specified safety integrity
level;
– adopts a broad range of principles, techniques and measures to achieve functional safety
for E/E/PE safety-related systems, but does not explicitly use the concept of fail safe.
However, the concepts of “fail safe” and “inherently safe” principles may be applicable and
adoption of such concepts is acceptable providing the requirements of the relevant
clauses in the standard are met.

FUNCTIONAL SAFETY OF ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC/
PROGRAMMABLE ELECTRONIC SAFETY-RELATED SYSTEMS –

Part 2: Requirements for electrical/electronic/programmable
electronic safety-related systems

1 Scope
1.1 This part of the IEC 61508 series
a) is intended to be used only after a thorough understanding of IEC 61508-1, which provides
the overall framework for the achievement of functional safety;
b) applies to any safety-related system, as defined by IEC 61508-1, that contains at least
one electrical, electronic or programmable electronic element;
c) applies to all elements within an E/E/PE safety-related system (including sensors,
actuators and the operator interface);
d) specifies how to refine the E/E/PE system safety requirements specification, developed in
accordance with IEC 61508-1 (comprising the E/E/PE system safety functions
requirements specification and the E/E/PE system safety integrity requirements
specification), into the E/E/PE system design requirements specification;
e) specifies the requirements for activities that are to be applied during the design and
manufacture of the E/E/PE safety-related systems (i.e. establishes the E/E/PE system
safety lifecycle model) except software, which is dealt with in IEC 61508-3 (see Figures 2
to 4). These requirements include the application of techniques and measures that are
graded against the safety integrity level, for the avoidance of, and control of, faults and
failures;
f) specifies the information necessary for carrying out the installation, commissioning and
final safety validation of the E/E/PE safety-related systems;
g) does not apply to the operation and maintenance phase of the E/E/PE safety-related
systems – this is dealt with in IEC 61508-1 – however, IEC 61508-2 does provide
requirements for the preparation of information and procedures needed by the user for the
operation and maintenance of the E/E/PE safety-related systems;
h) specifies requirements to be met by the organisation carrying out any modification of
the E/E/PE safety-related systems;
NOTE 1 This part of IEC 61508 is mainly directed at suppliers and/or in-company engineering departments, hence
the inclusion of requirements for modification.
NOTE 2 The relationship between IEC 61508-2 and IEC 61508-3 is illustrated in Figure 4.
i) does not apply for medical equipment in compliance with the IEC 60601 series.
1.2 IEC 61508-1, IEC 61508-2, IEC 61508-3 and IEC 61508-4 are basic safety publications,
although this status does not apply in the context of low complexity E/E/PE safety-related
systems (see 3.4.3 of IEC 61508-4). As basic safety publications, they are intended for use by
technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles
contained in IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51. IEC 61508-1, IEC 61508-2, IEC 61508-3
and IEC 61508-4 are also intended for use as stand-alone standards. The horizontal safety
function of this international standard does not apply to medical equipment in compliance with
the IEC 60601 series.
1.3 One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use
of basic safety publications in the preparation of its publications. In this context, the
requirements, test methods or test conditions of this basic safety publication will not apply

– 10 – 61508-2 © IEC:2010
unless specifically referred to or included in the publications prepared by those technical
committees.
NOTE The functional safety of an E/E/PE safety-related system can only be achieved when all related
requirements are met. Therefore, it is important that all related requirements are carefully considered and
adequately referenced.
1.4 Figure 1 shows the overall framework of the IEC 61508 series and indicates the role that
IEC 61508-2 plays in the achievement of functional safety for E/E/PE safety-related systems.
Annex A of IEC 61508-6 describes the application of IEC 61508-2 and IEC 61508-3.

7 E/E/PE system safety lifecycle requirements
7.1 General
7.1.1 Objectives and requirements – general
7.1.1.1 This subclause sets out the objectives and requirements for the E/E/PE system
safety lifecycle phases.
NOTE The objectives and requirements for the overall safety lifecycle, together with a general introduction to the
structure of the standard, are given in IEC 61508-1.
7.1.1.2 For all phases of the E/E/PE system safety lifecycle, Table 1 indicates
– the objectives to be achieved;
– the scope of the phase;
– a reference to the subclause containing the requirements;
– the required inputs to the phase;
– the outputs required to comply with the subclause.
7.1.2 Objectives
7.1.2.1 The first objective of the requirements of this subclause is to structure, in a
systematic manner, the phases in the E/E/PE system safety lifecycle that shall be considered
in order to achieve the required functional safety of the E/E/PE safety-related systems.
7.1.2.2 The second objective of the requirements of this subclause is to document all
information relevant to the functional safety of the E/E/PE safety-related systems throughout
the E/E/PE system safety lifecycle.
7.1.3 Requirements
7.1.3.1 The E/E/PE system safety lifecycle that shall be used in claiming conformance with
this standard is that specified in Figure 2. A detailed V-model of the ASIC development
lifecycle for the design of ASICs (see IEC 61508-4, 3.2.15) is shown in Figure 3. If another
E/E/PE system safety lifecycle or ASIC development lifecycle is used, it shall be specified as
part of the management of functional safety activities (see Clause 6 of IEC 61508-1), and all
the objectives and requirements of each subclause of IEC 61508-2 shall be met.
NOTE 1 The relationship between and scope for IEC 61508-2 and IEC 61508-3 are shown in Figure 4.
NOTE 2 There are significant similarities between the ASIC and the software design processes. IEC 61508-3
recommends the V-model for designing safety-related software. The V-model requires a clearly structured design
process and a modular software structure for avoiding and controlling systematic faults. The ASIC development
lifecycle for the design of ASICs in Figure 3 follows this model. At first the requirements for the ASIC specification
are derived from the system requirements. ASIC architecture, ASIC design and module design follow. The results
of each step on the left-hand side of the V become the input to the next step, and are also fed back to the
preceding step for iteration where appropriate, until the final code is created. This code is verified against the
corresponding design through post-layout simulation, module testing, module integration testing and verification of
the complete ASIC. The results of any step may necessitate a revision to any of the preceding steps. Finally, the
ASIC is validated after its integration into the E/E/PE safety-related system.

7.1.3.2 The procedures for management of functional safety (see Clause 6 of IEC 61508-1)
shall run in parallel with the E/E/PE system safety lifecycle phases.
7.1.3.3 Each phase of the E/E/PE system safety lifecycle shall be divided into elementary
activities, with the scope, inputs and outputs specified for each phase (see Table 1).
7.1.3.4 Unless justified as part of the management of functional safety activities (see
Clause 6 of IEC 61508-1), the outputs of each phase of the E/E/PE system safety lifecycle
shall be documented (see Clause 5 of IEC 61508-1).
7.1.3.5 The outputs for each E/E/PE system safety lifecycle phase shall meet the objectives
and requirements specified for each phase (see 7.2 to
