SafeTI™–61508

IEC 61508 is a functional safety standard for Electrical/Electronic/Programmable Electronic (E/E/PE) Systems. This standard is a basic safety publication, which means it is to be applied to any safety related E/E/PE system unless a specific end-equipment level standard exists. IEC 61508 forms the foundation for many IEC and ISO end equipment-level functional safety standards for industrial process, industrial machinery, medical and a variety of other industries.

Examples of these applications include:

SafeTI-61508 design packages for functional safety applications include hardware, software, and tools developed with application of relevant requirements from IEC 61508:2010 to support safety functions with safety integrity levels (SILs) 1 to 3. These design packages help manufacturers of E/E/PE systems to more quickly and easily achieve applicable system certification.

TI Standards Compliance Certification for SafeTI-61508

Where indicated, SafeTI products and/or processes have been assessed and certified compliant to specific functional safety standards by independent 3rd party assessors.

SafeTI™ Products & Targeted Customer Applications

For SafeTI-61508 products, component level SIL capability as determined by application of systematic requirements from standard is noted. Achieved SIL per safety function will vary based on customer implementation. Products from other SafeTI categories which are not compliant to IEC 61508 may be usable as QM components in IEC 61508 compliant applications. Determination of suitability for use in IEC 61508 applications is the responsibility of the system designer, who must take into account application specific functional safety requirements.
