Description
Term defined by IEC 61508 as "part of a
subsystem comprising a single component
or any group of components that performs
one or more element safety functions"
This is the likelihood of dangerous safety
function failures occurring on demand.
The term "Probability" is misleading, as IEC
61508 defines a Rate.
Safe Failure Fraction summarises the
fraction of failures which lead to a safe
state and the fraction of failures which will
be detected by diagnostic measures and
lead to a defined safety action.
Function that provides fault detection (to
ensure the necessary safety integrity for the
safety functions)
The international standard IEC 61508
specifies four discrete safety integrity levels
(SIL 1 to SIL 4). Each level corresponds to
a specific probability range regarding the
failure of a safety function.
