IEC 61508:2010 - Functional Safety of E/E/PE Safety-related Systems
Part 3, Normative annexes A and D – IEC 61508:2010 - Functional Safety of E/E/PE Safety-related Systems

IEC 61508:2010 - Functional Safety of E/E/PE Safety-related Systems 3-A.1: Part 3, Annex A Table A.1 Software safety requirements specification techniques

Appropriate techniques must be selected for the SIL; where an HR technique is not used (or an NR one is used) the rationale is recorded in safety planning against Annex C and agreed with the assessor, and only one of a set of lettered alternatives need be met. For the software safety requirements spec (SSRS) the table lists semi-formal methods (HR at SIL 3 and 4), formal methods (HR at SIL 4), forward traceability between system safety requirements and software safety requirements, backward traceability from the safety requirements to the safety needs as perceived (both R at SIL 1 and 2, HR at SIL 3 and 4), and computer-aided specification tools.

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.

  • A.2 Table A.2: Software Requirements Specification (7.2)
  • 6:6.4 6.4 Specification of software safety requirements

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.
