Safety standards including IEC 61508
Open Control Systems - The Importance of Industrial Standards, 2004The IEC 61508 standard entitled "Functional safety of electrical, electronic, and programmable electronic safety-related systems" provides a basis for the achievement of functional safety. Safety functions are intended to achieve or to maintain a safe state for the equipment under control with respect to a specific hazardous event.

IEC 61508 certification of a code generator
3rd IET International Conference on System Safety 2008, 2008This paper describes the certification of the ASCET code generator to a safety standard, the IEC 61508. A certificate confirms the compliance of a product, a process, or a service to set of requirements by an independent authority. For this paper, the requirements are taken from the IEC 61508.

Objective Measurement of Safety in the Context of IEC 61508-3
2013 39th Euromicro Conference on Software Engineering and Advanced Applications, 2013Safety standards like the IEC 61508 are an important source for developing safety-critical (software) systems as they provide a set of requirements and recommendations to assist engineers in system and software development. Applying this standard in practice leads to interpretation problems due to insufficient operationalization, i.e.

Applying IEC 61508 to Air Traffic Management Systems
2009IEC 61508 is often but erroneously thought of as applying only to the process industries. This paper considers how the standard can be applied to the safety management of air traffic management and control systems, examining areas where the standard is helpful and other areas where it is less useful and requires some augmentation.

Process Safety Progress, 2003
AbstractThe introduction of IEC 61508 provided safety system practitioners with the first internationally accepted generic benchmark policy for safety‐related systems. However, many practitioners find the way in which the standard is often presented and promoted quite intimidating. But, there is no need to be intimidated.

Comparison between IEC 60880 and IEC 61508 for Certification Purposes in the Nuclear Domain
2010In the nuclear domain, regulators have strict requirements for safety critical software. In this paper requirements in three documents (two software standards and the Common Position of nuclear domain regulators) were compared. The aim of the work was to find out how these requirements compare to each other in terms of strictness and scope, and to ...
