6.12 Evaluating the achieved Performance Level PL and the relationship to the SIL

For application in this part of DIN EN ISO 13849, the capability of safety-related parts to perform a safety function is expressed

through the determination of a Performance Level.
The PL must be assessed for each selected SRP/CS and/or SRP/CS combination that performs a safety function. The PL of

the SRP/CS must be determined by assessing the following aspects:
-

The MTTF

c

value of individual components (see Appendices C and D)

-

The DC (see Appendix E)

-

The CCF (see Appendix F)

-

The structure (see section 6)

-

The behavior of the safety function under failure conditions (see section 6)

-

Safety-related software (see 4.6 and Appendix J)

-

Systematic failures (see Appendix G)

-

The capability to perform a safety function under predictable ambient conditions

The following diagram depicts the procedure for selecting the categories in combination with MTTF
