Functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems - Part 5: Examples of methods for the determination of safety integrity levels (IEC 61508-5:2010); German version EN 61508-5:2010
Funktionale Sicherheit sicherheitsbezogener elektrischer/elektronischer/programmierbarer elektronischer Systeme - Teil 5: Beispiele zur Ermittlung der Stufe der Sicherheitsintegrität (safety integrity level) (IEC 61508-5:2010); Deutsche Fassung EN 61508-5:2010
Overview
This part of IEC 61508 provides information on: - the underlying concepts of risk and the relationship of risk to safety integrity (see Annex A); - a number of methods that will enable the safety integrity levels for the E/E/PE safety-related systems, safety-related systems of other technologies and external risk reduction equipment to be specified (see Annexes B, C, D and E). The responsible Committee is GK 914 "Funktionale Sicherheit elektrischer, elektronischer und programmierbarer elektronischer Systeme (E, E, PES) zum Schutz von Personen und Umwelt" ("Functional safety of electrical, electronic and programmable electronic systems (E, E, PES) for protection of persons and the environment") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Informational Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
