scope:

This document provides information, and recommended minimum requirements related to embedded software supporting the main functions of switchgear and cont rol gear dur i ng t he whole lifecycle of the equipment. It includes also the parameter i zat ion as pect s and bas i c s about secure coding standards.

This document can be used in addition to product s tandard requirement s when not a l ready covered.

This document is appropriate for new development or major changes in existing equipment.

This document is not intended to cover the functional safety of control systems for machi nery or for automation which are covered by IEC 62061, ISO 13849-1 and IEC 61508 (a l l part s ) , neither the cybersecurity risk which are covered by ISO 27005, and IEC 62443 (all parts). It gives only some example of secure coding rules.

NOTE Future new publication IEC TS 632081 is under development for implementing embedd ed cybe rsecur it y measures within switchgear and controlgear based on ISO 27005 and IEC 62443 (all parts).
