scope:
The use of computers as part of safety systems elicits additional requirements not specifically addressed in IEEE Std 603-1991. This standard serves to amplify criteria in IEEE Std 603-1991 for computers used as components of safety systems in nuclear power generating stations. Within the context of this standard, the term computer is a system that includes computer hardware, software, firmware, and interfaces. The criteria contained herein, in conjunction with criteria in IEEE Std 603-1991, establish minimum functional and design requirements for computers used as components of a safety system.
