A1.3 Definitions and Abbrevia-

tions

A1.3.1 Definitions

Safety

Freedom from unacceptable
risk of harm

Functional Safety

The ability of a system to carry
out the actions necessary to
achieve or to maintain a defined
safe state for the equipment/
machinery/plant/apparatus under
control of the system

Basic Safety

The equipment must be designed
and manufactured such that it
protects against risk of damage to
persons by electrical shock and
other hazards and against resulting
fire and explosion. The protection
must be effective under all
conditions of the nominal opera-
tion and under single fault
condition

Verification

The demonstration for each phase
of the life-cycle that the (output)
deliverables of the phase meet the
objectives and requirements
specified by the inputs to the
phase. The verification is usually
executed by analysis and/or
testing

Validation

The demonstration that the safety-
related system(s) or the combina-
tion of safety-related system(s)
and external risk reduction
facilities meet, in all respects, the
Safety Requirements Specifica-
tion. The validation is usually
executed by testing

Safety Assessment

The investigation to arrive at a
judgment -based on evidence- of
the safety achieved by safety-
related systems

Further definitions of terms used for safety techniques
and measures and the description of safety related
systems are given in IEC 61508-4.
