scope:

This International Standard covers those aspects to be considered when electrical/electronic/programmable electronic (E/E/PE) systems are used to carry out safety functions. A major objective of this standard is to facilitate the development of product and application sector international standards by the technical committees responsible for the product or application sector. This will allow all the relevant factors, associated with the product or application, to be fully taken into account and thereby meet the specific needs to users of the product and the application sector. A second objective of this standard is enable the development of E/E/PE safety-related systems where product or application sector international standards do not exist.

This CD contains the complete series of revised IEC 61508 standards on Functional Safety, along with a Redline version commented by a world leading expert.

This product is of high relevance for Smart Grid.
