Functional safety
All aspects regarding the correct functioningof the Safety-Related Systems (SRS) so that the dedicated safety
functions are being keptunder all given conditions
How safe stays the safety-related system?
All aspects to preventand handlethe (dangerous) failuresof the safety-related systems so that the EUC remains in a safe condition or brought to a safe state
The available literature give a broad description of the definition “Functional Safety”

Ambitions of the standards organizations
Developing of standards which gives: information to prevent andhandle failures of the
safety-related systems;
objectivecriteriato evaluate the functional safety;
requirements to maintainthe functional safetyover the
whole lifecycle of the safety-related system (from concept to decommissioning)

Materials/En gi neeri ng -S afety 6 Bart Aertgeerts – 2007-11-13Importance of the standards
Provide technical information, general and detailed principles of design in accordance with the latest
state-of-the-art technology
Are considered as rules of good practice
Standards canbe usedto demonstrate the compliance with the relevant legislation
Standards have no legal statusunless the legislator explicitly has indicated to them
Materials/En gi neeri ng -S afety 7 Bart Aertgeerts – 2007-11-13
Harmonized European standards
Are drawn-up by the European standards organizations (CEN & CENELEC) as mandate from the EC Commission in order to fulfill the requirements of the EU Directives When the harmonized standards are used, it is assumed
that the requirements of the EU Directives have been met
Give an “automatic presumption of conformity”
Harmonized standards are published in the Official Journey of the EU
The standards are “unchanged” transferred to national standards
National standards handling the same subject must then be withdrawn

Generic standard (series) EN (IEC) 61508
The standard is genericand applicable to the Electrical, Electronic and Programmable Electronic (E/E/PE) safety-related systemsPrinciples and framework can also be used for other technologies Introduced Safety Integrity Levels (SIL)as a measure for
functional safety
Adopts a risk-based approach for determination of the SIL requirements Sets numerical target failure measures for E/E/PE safety-related systems which are linked to the SIL
Uses an overall safety lifecycleconcept which structural looks to all necessary phases and activities in order to achieve the functional safety
Deals with both the organizational and technical aspects
Has been conceived with a rapidly developing technology in mind
Framework is sufficiently robust and comprehensive to cater for future developments Materials/En gi neeri ng -S afety 10 Bart Aertgeerts – 2007-11-13

Standardization activities for machinery
All machines introduced in the EU market have to becompliant with the (essential) safety requirements of the EU machinery Directive
The standards organizations have published many standards which are helpful in order to fulfill the safety requirements
(harmonized standards)
Especially for the design of safety-related control systems there are different harmonized standards available :
EN 62061 EN 954-1 EN ISO 13849 Materials/En gi neeri ng -S afety 30 Bart Aertgeerts – 2007-11-13
Standard EN 954-1
Applicable to safety-related parts of control systems based on all operating media : electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic;
Performance of the safety-related parts described in terms of safety categories (B,1,2,3,4)
Use a risk-graph methodology (qualitative) in order to designate the categories
Sets an appropriate system behavior against a category (deterministic approach)
Behavior is based on:
Reliability of components : Fault avoidance
System structure (architecture) : Fault tolerance (redundancy), fault detection (monitoring) and fault resistance
Materials/En gi neeri ng -S afety 31 Bart Aertgeerts – 2007-11-13
Standard EN 954-1
Pro Standard is easily-understood and requires no complex mathematics
Contra
The coherence between risk level and category doesn’t always appear plausible
No direct connection between risk-reducing and category
Emphasis on “meeting category requirements” rather than reducing risk
Categories are not a comprehensive measure of safety integrity
No probabilistic considerations included into the safety examinations Not suitable for programmable systems and complex
electronics
No detailed requirements

Consists of 2 parts
Part 1: General principles for design
Part 2: Validation

Materials/En gi neeri ng -S afety 34 Bart Aertgeerts – 2007-11-13
Standard (series) EN ISO 13849
It examines all safety functions, including all thecomponents involved
Performance of safety-related parts are described in terms of Performance Levels (a,b,c,d,e)
The familiar categories remain but are defined in terms of designated architectures
Reach information to validate the design in order to check that the requirements are fulfilled
Provide data for the reliability of the components and methods for estimations
Materials/En gi neeri ng -S afety 35 Bart Aertgeerts – 2007-11-13
Standard (series) EN ISO 13849
The remaining risk-graph methodology (qualitativeapproach) no longer results in categories but in required Performance Levels
The standard describes how to calculate (quantitative
assessment) the Performance Level for safety-related parts of control systems, based on:
Designated architectures (Category)
MTTFd: Mean Time To dangerous Failure
DC: Diagnostic Coverage

Time goes always further
At 2003: We had a small numberof standards for functional safety Fewpeople had knowledge about the subject, the problems
and experience with the use of the standards
Present 2007:
We have a lotof standards for functional safety
There are now manypeople who have already a broad knowledge and practical experience
There are more and morepeople who realize that they in the future also will come in contact with the subject

The trees in the (great) forest !
Today : We have access to a lot of documents available
The standards organizations have many standardspublished Could we say that everyonewithout any problems can findall
the necessary informationon the internet But:
Is the information always transparentenough ?
Are the published documents all in accordance with each
other?
