scope:

ISO/IEC 14762 sets the requirements for functional safety for Home and Building Electronic Systems (HBES) products and systems, a multi-application bus system where the functions are decentralised, distributed and linked through a common communication process. The requirements may also apply to the distributed functions of any equipment connected in a home or building control system if no specific functional safety standard exists for this equipment or system.

The functional safety requirements of this International Standard apply together with the relevant product standards for a device if any.

This International Standard does not provide functional safety requirements for safety-related systems.
