IEC 61508 Standard

The standard IEC 61508 covers the functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems.

Instead of a single component, an entire function chain (for example, from a sensor through the logical processing units to the actuator) is considered as a unit.

This function chain must meet the requirements of the specific safety integrity level as a whole.
