Meeting IEC 61508 Part 3
Abstract
This chapter covers Part 3 of IEC 61508 addressing the overall software requirements and the development of software. The Annexes of Part 3 offer appropriate techniques, by SIL, in the form of tables followed by more detailed tables with cross-references. In the 2010 version there is an additional Annex giving guidance on the properties that the software techniques should achieve which is intended to allow a frame work for justifying alternative techniques to those given in the Standard. This chapter attempts to provide a simple and useable interpretation by summarizing the main requirements.
