IEC 61508 2nd Edition changes, overview All parts of the standard were updated For all parts Extend the scope from a complete safety function to partial safety functions performed by a subsystem (e.g. sensor, PLC,..) The safety integrity levels are furthermore linked to safety function New terms defined: Overall safety function, element safety function Compliant item, Systematic capability Safety manual for compliant item, Safety justification Mathematical more profound terms Average probability of dangerous failure on demand PFDavg Average frequency of dangerous failure PFH 14

IEC 61508 part 1, clarification on SIL 4 7.6.2.11 In cases where the allocation process results in the requirement for an E/E/PE safety-related system implementing a SIL 4 safety function then the following shall apply: a) There shall be a reconsideration of the application to determine if any of the risk parameters can be modified so that the requirement for a SIL 4 safety function is avoided. The review shall consider whether: additional safety-related systems or other risk reduction measures, not based on E/E/PE safety-related systems, could be introduced; the severity of the consequence could be reduced; the likelihood of the specified consequence could be reduced. b) If after further consideration of the application, it is decided to implement the SIL 4 safety function then a further risk assessment shall be carried out using a quantitative method that takes into consideration potential common cause failures between the E/E/PE safety-related system and: any other systems whose failure would place a demand on it; and, any other safety-related systems. 17

IEC 61508 part 1, security aspects 7.4.2.3 The hazards, hazardous events and hazardous situations of the EUC and the EUC control system shall be determined under all reasonably foreseeable circumstances (including fault conditions, reasonably foreseeable misuse and malevolent or unauthorized action). This shall include all relevant human factor issues, and shall give particular attention to abnormal or infrequent modes of operation of the EUC. If the hazard analysis identifies that malevolent or unauthorized action, constituting a security threat, as being reasonably foreseeable, then a security threats analysis should be carried out. Until now security was not in the scope of the IEC 61508. Now it is! High level requirements, no detailed requirements 18

IEC 61508 part 2, overview Definition of compliance routes, hardware integrity Definition of existing and new failure modes / clarification on SFF Proven in use Systematic capability Requirements for ASIC, FPGA design Consideration of soft errors for high integrated circuits 19

IEC 61508 part 2, hardware integrity Chapter 7.4 The design of the E/E/PE safety-related system shall meet the: requirements for hardware safety integrity (HW Compliance routes) special architecture requirements for ICs with on-chip redundancy requirements for systematic safety integrity (systematic capability) requirements for system behavior on detection of a fault requirements for data communication processes 20

IEC 61508 part 2, definition of new failure modes IEC 61508-4; 3.6.13 no part failure failure of a component that plays no part in implementing the safety function IEC 61508-4; 3.6.14 no effect failure failure of an element that plays a part in implementing the safety function but has no direct effect on the safety function. It does not contribute to the failure rate of the safety function. SFF= S S λ + λ + λ DD No-effect and no-part failures shall not play any role in the calculation of the diagnostic coverage or the safe failure fraction. May be 25 % of safety related elements will degrade (no part and no effect failures were counted as safe in some analysis) λ + DD λ DU 21

IEC 61508 part 2, systematic integrity / capability Chapter 7.4.3 IEC 61508-4; 3.5.9 systematic capability measure (expressed on a scale of SC 1 to SC 4) of the confidence that the systematic safety integrity of an element meets the requirements of the specified SIL, in respect of the specified element safety function, when the element is applied in accordance with the instructions specified in the compliant item safety manual for the element Increase the understanding: The architecture has the same importance regarding systematic faults (avoidance and control) as regarding the control of random faults 22

IEC 61508 part 2, systematic integrity / capability - For the determination of the systematic capability the designated safety related E/E/PES system will be partitioned in elements of different systematic capability SC - Case 1: - all elements have the systematic capability of N - systematic fault in one of the elements will cause a failure of the specified safety function designated safety related E/E/PES system has the systematic capability of N - Case 2: - an elements has the systematic capability of N - systematic fault in one element will not cause a failure of the specified safety function - a combination with a second systematic fault of another element of systematic capability of N causes a failure of the specified safety function Systematic capability of both elements in combination is N+1 23

IEC 61508 part 2, systematic integrity / independence Sufficient independence, in the design between elements and in the application of elements, shall be justified by common cause failure analysis to show that the likelihood of interference between elements and between the elements and the environment is sufficiently low in comparison with the safety integrity level of the safety function under consideration. Possible approaches to the achievement of sufficient independence include: - use of functional diversity - use of diverse technology - no use of common parts/ services - no use of common procedure The independence of elements can be assessed only when the specific application of the elements is known in relation to the defined safety functions. 24

IEC 61508 part 2, systematic capability compliance routes Chapter 7.4.3 Requirements for systematic safety integrity (systematic capability) can be met by achieving one of the following compliance routes: - Route 1S: compliance with the requirements for the avoidance of systematic faults (see 7.4.6 and IEC 61508-3) and the requirements for the control of systematic faults (see 7.4.7 and IEC 61508-3), or - Route 2S: compliance with the requirements for evidence that the equipment is proven in use (see 7.4.10), or - Route 3S (pre-existing software elements only): compliance with the requirements of IEC 61508-3, 7.4.2.12; 25

IEC 61508 part 3, pre existing software Requirements: failure analysis has to be carried out effective defensive measures to be taken. (see Annex F for techniques) compliance routes safety manual Where a pre-existing software element is reused to implement all or part of a safety function, the element shall meet both requirements a) and b) below for systematic safety integrity: a) meet the requirements of one of the following compliance routes: Route 1 S : compliant development. Compliance with the requirements of this standard for the avoidance and control of systematic faults in software; Route 2 S : proven in use. Provide evidence that the element is proven in use. See 7.4.10 of IEC 61508-2; Route 3 S : assessment of non-compliant development. Compliance with 7.4.2.13. : b) provide a safety manual that gives sufficiently precise and complete description of the element to make possible an assessment of the integrity 26

IEC 61508 part 3, Tools Online support tools: a software tool that can directly influence the safety related system during run time. Online support tools shall be treated as software belonging to the safety related system Offline support tools: a software tool that supports a phase of software development life cycle and cannot directly influence the safety related system during its run time T1 generates no outputs which can directly or indirectly contribute to the executable code (including data) of the safety related system; example: a design support tool with no automatic code generation capabilities T2 supports the test or verification of the design or executable code, where errors in the tool can fail to reveal defects but cannot directly create errors in the executable software; examples: a test harness generator; a test coverage measurement tool; a static analysis tool. T3 generates outputs which can directly or indirectly contribute to the executable code of the safety related system. example: a compiler that incorporates an executable run-time package into the executable code. 27
