    IEC 61508 is an international standard that sets requirements for electrical, electronic, and programmable electronic safety systems to ensure they are designed, implemented, operated, and maintained to provide required safety integrity levels. The standard defines four safety integrity levels based on risk, with the highest level protecting against the greatest risks. IEC 61508 provides the basis for other standards like EN 50495 on safety devices for explosive atmospheres. The standard has seven parts covering general requirements, requirements for electronic safety systems, software requirements, definitions, determining safety integrity levels, application guidelines, and an overview of techniques.

    IEC 61508 - Safety Systems

    IEC/EN 61508 is the international standard for electrical, electronic and programmable electronic safety related systems. It sets out the requirements for ensuring that systems are designed, implemented, operated and maintained to provide the required safety integrity level (SIL). Four SILs are defined according to the risks involved in the system application, with SIL4 being used to protect against the highest risks. IEC 61508 is the base standard for EN 50495 Safety Devices for ATEX. The standard is in seven parts: IEC IEC IEC IEC IEC 61508-1, General requirements 61508-2, Requirements for E/E/PE safety-related systems 61508-3, Software requirements 61508-4, Definitions and abbreviations 61508-5, Examples and methods for the determination of safety integrity levels IEC 61508-6, Guidelines on the application of IEC 61508-2 and IEC 61508-3 IEC 61508-7, Overview of techniques and measures
