A2.3 definitions and Abbreviations
A2.3.1 definitions
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
defined 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 a other hazards and against
resulting fire and explosion. The protection must be effective under all conditions of
the nominal operation and under single fault condition
Verification
The demonstration for each phase of the life-cycle that the (output) deliverables of
the phase meet the objectives and requirements specified by the inputs to
the phase. The verification 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 Specification. 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 definitions of terms used for safety techniques and measures and the description of
safety related systems are given in IEC 61508-4.
