A1.3 Denitions and
Abbreviations
A1.3.1 Denitions
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
dened 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
re and explosion. The
protection must be effective
under all conditions of the
nominal operation and under
single fault condition
Verication The demonstration for each
phase of the life-cycle that the
(output) deliverables of the
phase meet the objectives
and requirements specied by
the inputs to the phase. The
verication is usually executed
by analysis and/or testing
Validation The demonstration that the
safety-related system(s) or
the combination of safety-
related system(s) and external
risk reduction facilities meet,
in all respects, the Safety
Requirements Specication.
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 denitions of terms used for safety
techniques and measures and the description of
safety related systems are given in IEC 61508-4.
