Part 3-1: Immunity requirements for safety-related systems and
for equipment intended to perform safety-related functions
(functional safety) – General industrial applications

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.
International Standard IEC 61326-3-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 65A: System
aspects, of IEC technical committee 65: Industrial-process measurement, control and
automation.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2008. This edition
constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical
changes with respect to the previous edition:
• extension of the frequency range up to 6 GHz for the radio-frequency electromagnetic field
test according to IEC 61000-4-3,
• replacement of the performance criterion FS with DS according to the generic standard
IEC 61000-6-7,
• adding Table 1 – Aspects to be considered during application of performance criterion DS,

INTRODUCTION
Functional safety is that part of the overall safety relating to the equipment under control
(EUC) and the EUC control system which depends on the correct functioning of the electrical
safety-related systems. To achieve this, all items of equipment of the safety-related system
which are involved in the performance of the safety functions must behave in a specified
manner under all relevant conditions.
The IEC basic safety publication for functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable
electronic safety-related systems is IEC 61508. It sets the overall requirements to achieve
functional safety. Sufficient immunity to electromagnetic disturbances is one of those
requirements.
The concept of IEC 61508 distinguishes between the consideration of the application and the
design of safety-related electrical and electronic systems. The overall safety requirements
specification specifies all relevant requirements of the intended application, as follows:
a) definition of the safety functions, based on a risk assessment of the intended application
(which functions are intended to reduce risk);
b) appropriate safety integrity level (SIL) for each safety-function based on a risk assessment
of the intended application;
c) definition of the environment in which the system is intended to work including the
electromagnetic environment as required by IEC 61508-2.
The requirements for each safety function are then specified in one or more system safety
requirements specifications (SSRS). Hence, with regard to immunity against electromagnetic
phenomena, the essential starting point is that the electromagnetic environment and its
phenomena are considered in the SSRS, as required by IEC 61508. The safety-related
system intended to implement the specified safety function has to fulfil the SSRS, and, from it,
corresponding immunity requirements have to be derived for the items of equipment, which
results in an equipment requirement specification. With respect to the electromagnetic
environment, the SSRS and the equipment requirement specification should be based on a
competent assessment of the foreseeable electromagnetic threats in the real environment
over the whole operational life of the equipment. Hence, immunity requirements for the
equipment depend on the characteristics of the electromagnetic environment in which the
equipment is intended to be used.
The equipment manufacturer, therefore, has to prove that the equipment fulfils the equipment
requirement specification and the system integrator must prove that the system fulfils the
SSRS. Evidence has to be produced by application of appropriate methods. They do not need
to consider any other aspects of the application, for example, risk of the application
associated to any failure of the safety-related system. The objective is for all equipment in the
system to comply with particular performance criteria taking into account functional safety
aspects (for example, the performance criterion DS) up to levels specified in the SSRS
independent of the required safety integrity level (SIL).
For approaches on how to apply IEC 61326-3 series, see Annex A.
There exists meanwhile the generic EMC standard IEC 61000-6-7 dealing with functional
safety aspects in industrial environments. Generic EMC standards are designed to apply for a
defined electromagnetic environment, to products for which no dedicated product family
EMC/product EMC standards exist. However, for the equipment in the scope of this document,
the information given in the generic EMC standard was considered not to be sufficient. More
detailed information and specifications were needed, for example specific test set-ups,
consideration of the functional earth port or the deliberate differentiation between types of
electromagnetic environments relevant for the equipment in the scope of this document.
