This IEC 61508 training introduces the international base standard for functional safety of electrical, electronic and programmable electronic (E/E/PE) safety-related systems and how to apply it in a project.
Safety Standards
3 days (21h)
IEC 61508
Fundamentals of functional safety for software-intensive industrial systems according to IEC 61508.
Course Description
Pedagogical Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the general principles and development processes required to comply with IEC 61508 (system, electronics, software).
- Understand how IEC 61508 implementation is modulated according to the SIL level.
- Determine the actions and documents needed to justify compliance with IEC 61508.
- Understand the provisions applicable when using tools or reusable components.
- Understand the quantitative assessment of electronic parts (day 3).
Course Program
- Introduction to IEC 61508: general overview; structure, general principles and safety life cycle; functional-safety assessment.
- System view: objectives and requirements of the system phases; SIL determination and allocation; PHA, FMEA and FTA methods.
- Software view: upstream phases (requirements by SIL, documentation); downstream phases (requirements by SIL); systematic capability and safety manual; dependability and reuse; component qualification (reuse, COTS); tool qualification.
- Day 3 – Electronic hardware view: objectives and requirements of the E/E/PE phases; random failures and SIL; systematic failures and SIL, safety manual; FPGA view (FPGA life cycle, requirements by SIL).
