An Overview of IEC 61508 on E/E/PE Functional Safety
نویسنده
چکیده
The International Electrotechnical Commission is the organisation which develops and sets international standards in electrotechnical engineering areas. In 1997 the IEC published the standard IEC 61508, Functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems. The phrase “electrical/electronic/programmable electronic” is cumbersome and is often shortened to E/E/PE, which some pronounce “ee-ee-pee-ee” and others such as myself “eepee”.

Overview of IEC 61508 - Design of electrical / electronic / programmable electronic safety - related systems
The aim of the international standard IEC 61508 is to provide a route whereby safety-related systems can be implemented using electrical or electronic or programmable electronic technology in such a way that an acceptable level of functional safety is achieved. The strategy of the standard is first to derive the safety requirements of the safety-related system from a hazard & risk analysis and ...

متن کاملIEC 61508 and IEC 61511 Assessments – some Lessons Learned
In recent years we have conducted about 25 assessments using IEC 61508 or IEC 61511, working mainly to Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2, but on some occasions to SIL 3. In this paper we present some of the lessons we have learned and offer advice to those seeking certification for components, systems or generic process capability. We cover the three main parts of the IEC 61508 standard: Functiona...
متن کاملIs your current safety system compliant to today's safety standard?
It is estimated that about 66% of the Programmable Electronic Systems (PES) running in the process industry were installed before the publication of today’s commonly used safety standards (IEC 61508 and IEC 61511/ISA 84) Some of those safety systems, particularly the ones installed between the late 1980's and early 2000, are either 1. General-purpose PLCs, 2. Not designed or certified according...
متن کاملSoftware Tool Qualification According to ISO 26262
International standards that define requirements for the development of safety-related systems typically also define required confidence levels for the software tools used to develop those systems. The standards define—to a greater or lesser extent— procedures to classify, validate, certify, or qualify tools. To date, there is no common approach for tool validation, certification, and qualifica...
