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.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
IEC 61069 deals with the method which should be used to assess system properties of a
basic control system (BCS). IEC 61069 consists of the following parts.
Part 1: Terminology and basic concepts
Part 2: Assessment methodology
Part 3: Assessment of system functionality
Part 4: Assessment of system performance
Part 5: Assessment of system dependability
Part 6: Assessment of system operability
Part 7: Assessment of system safety
Part 8: Assessment of other system properties
Assessment of a system is the judgement, based on evidence, of the suitability of the system
for a specific mission or class of missions.
To obtain total evidence would require complete evaluation (for example under all influencing
factors) of all system properties relevant to the specific mission or class of missions.
Since this is rarely practical, the rationale on which an assessment of a system should be
based is:
– the identification of the importance of each of the relevant system properties,
– the planning for evaluation of the relevant system properties with a cost-effective
dedication of effort to the various system properties.
In conducting an assessment of a system, it is crucial to bear in mind the need to gain a
maximum increase in confidence in the suitability of a system within practical cost and time
constraints.
An assessment can only be carried out if a mission has been stated (or given), or if any
mission can be hypothesized. In the absence of a mission, no assessment can be made;
however, evaluations can still be specified and carried out for use in assessments performed
by others. In such cases, IEC 61069 can be used as a guide for planning an evaluation and it
provides methods for performing evaluations, since evaluations are an integral part of
assessment.
In preparing the assessment, it can be discovered that the definition of the system is too
narrow. For example, a facility with two or more revisions of the control systems sharing
resources, for example a network, should consider issues of co-existence and inter-operability.
In this case, the system to be investigated should not be limited to the “new” BCS; it should
include both. That is, it should change the boundaries of the system to include enough of the
other system to address these concerns.
The series structure and the relationship among the parts of IEC 61069 are shown in Figure 1.

INDUSTRIAL-PROCESS MEASUREMENT, CONTROL AND AUTOMATION –
EVALUATION OF SYSTEM PROPERTIES FOR
THE PURPOSE OF SYSTEM ASSESSMENT –
Part 7: Assessment of system safety
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61069:
– specifies the detailed method of the assessment of system safety of a basic control
system (BCS) based on the basic concepts of IEC 61069-1 and methodology of
IEC 61069-2,
– defines basic categorization of system safety properties,
– describes the factors that influence system safety and which need to be taken into account
when evaluating system safety, and
– provides guidance in selecting techniques from a set of options (with references) for
evaluating the system safety.
The treatment of safety in this standard is confined to hazards that can be present within the
BCS itself. That is, the BCS itself as a physical entity will not impose a hazard.
Considerations of hazards that can be introduced by the process or equipment under control,
of the BCS to be assessed, are excluded.

4 Basis of assessment specific to safety
4.1 System safety properties
4.1.1 General
A system can have a number of interactions with its environment, some of which can impose
a hazardous condition.
This standard concentrates on the conditions of the system which can cause harm. It is
important to recognize that these conditions can change through the life cycle of the system.
The extent to which the system is free of hazard can be expressed as system safety
properties. A system is not always free of hazard even if the individual parts that compose the
system are themselves free of hazard; for example, individual parts can be stable whereas the
same parts configured to form a system can be unstable and therefore hazardous.
System safety properties of a BCS in all its aspects (mechanical, electrical, etc.) depend upon
factors of its design and its dependability.
The assessment of the system safety should include evaluation of system safety properties
related to activities and measures for the system during every phase of its life cycle.
Examples of these activities and measures are:
– operating, maintenance and de-commissioning procedures,
– symbols and textual warnings given,
– disposal of packing material, waste products from equipment, replaced components and
cleaning material.
The assessment should also include environmental aspects.
The system safety properties can change over the different phases of its life cycle due to the
number of hazardous conditions present such as:
– hydraulic accumulators where pressures might be locked in by check valves,
– electrically charged devices (for example capacitors),
– nuclear waste and chemicals stored in containers exposed to corrosion.
When assessing the system safety, the following aspects should be considered:
– kinds of hazards,
– receivers of the consequences of a hazard,
– propagation paths,
– risk reduction measures.
System safety properties are categorized as shown in Figure 2.

IEC 61069-7:2016 © IEC 2016 – 9 –
System safety cannot be assessed directly and cannot be described by a single property.
System safety can only be determined by analysis and testing of each of its properties
individually.
4.1.2 Hazard reduction
Hazard reduction is the effort to reduce the number and/or severity of the hazard.
Example: If less energy is used, the temperatures of devices are likely to be lower. The lowest
hydraulic pressure needed to transfer the necessary power is used, to avoid high trapped
energy.
4.1.3 Hazard isolation
Hazard isolation is the effort to isolate the hazard.
Example: Installing circuit breakers and disconnects inside panels deigned to suppress arc
flash.
4.1.4 Immunity / robustness
Immunity / robustness allows the system to absorb or be immune to hazards.
Example: A BCS is immune to power line surges 20 % beyond its operating rating. Or it can
absorb EMC interference and still provide proper data transfers.
4.1.5 Aversion
Aversion allows a system to avert a hazard.
Example: Interlocks or SIS capability is provided to ensure the hazard cannot occur.
4.1.6 Mitigation
Mitigation protects only part of the system if other systems are compromised.
Example: Alarms, evacuation are examples where a hazard may have made itself felt, but
some method is still provided to make best effort to minimize loss.
4.2 Factors influencing system safety
The system safety can be affected by the influencing factors listed IEC 61069-1:2016, 5.3.
Generally the largest influencing factor is human beings.
4.3 Hazards, harms and propagation paths
4.3.1 Kinds of hazards
4.3.1.1 General
This subclause encompasses a set of hazards.
As a minimum, the kinds of hazards addressed by 4.3.1.2 to 4.3.1.8 shall be considered.
As described in the scope, considerations of hazards that can be introduced by the process or
equipment under control, of the BCS to be assessed, are excluded.

4.3.1.2 Mechanical
Weight can be a source of harm, for example during lifting or when falling down.
Pressure can be a source of harm, for example due to breakage of pipes or containers.
Elasticity can be a source of harm, for example due to breakage of springs or mechanical
structures.
Vibration can be a source of harm, for example due to fatigue of material or the emission of
excessive sound.
Temperature can be a source of harm, for example due to items heating through friction,
insufficient cooling, poor/faulty insulation. In certain circumstances extreme cold can also be
hazardous by reducing flexibility and affecting human tissue.
Wear can be a source of harm, for example due to release of toxic particles or due to
weakening parts.
Mechanical design can be a source of harm, for example due to the incorporation of sharp
edges or rough surfaces.
4.3.1.3 Electrical
The voltage or current can be a source of harm, for example due to short-circuiting (heat) or
bypassing isolation (electrical shock).
NOTE The electrical energies which are the sources of hazards can originate from within the system and/or from
the power supply to the system.
4.3.1.4 Electromagnetic field
The system can emit electromagnetic fields of different intensities and frequencies which can
be a source of harm. Emission limits for equipment are given in the relevant product, product
family and generic EMC standards, for example CISPR 22. Guidance o
