IEC 61508:2010 - Functional Safety of E/E/PE Safety-related Systems 3-8: Part 3, 8 Functional safety assessment of software

The objective and requirements of Part 1 clause 8 apply to assessment of safety-related software; unless a sector standard says otherwise, the minimum independence of assessors follows Part 1 clause 8. Assessment may use the results of the software lifecycle activities, and should weigh whether the selected methods, languages and tools are consistent and complementary, whether developers fully understand them, and whether they suit the problems met. Desirable properties include completeness against the standard, correctness, traceable closure of all identified issues, ability to update after change without extensive rework, and a precisely defined configuration.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 2 controls across 2 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
