What is BS EN 61508-3:2010?

BS EN 61508-3 shares best-practice software requirements for the functional safety of electrical, electronic and programmable electronic safety related systems. This standard should be read once part one and two are fully understood. BS EN 61508-3 applies to any software that forms a part of safety devices or is used to develop a safety related system. This includes operating systems, computer software, software in communication networks, interfaces, support tools and applications.

How does it work?

BS EN 61508-3 first looks at the conformance to this standard, before defining additional requirements to manage safety related software more effectively. It then explains the safety lifecycle requirements of software including design, support tools, development and testing. Other topics covered are validation, software modification and doing a functional safety assessment.

Who should buy it?

  • Safety engineers
  • Programmers
  • Software designers
  • Software testers
  • Network managers
  • IT managers and directors
  • IT consultants
