And as for Techniques and Measures ...
• 61511 requires the use of appropriate techniques and measures but doesn't give specific
detailed requirements and leaves the choice open to the user.
• From a software perspective part of the reason for this is the use of limited variability
languages LVLs as opposed to Fully Variable Languages (FVLs).
• The T&M tables in IEC 61508 may still be useful
•
61508-2 Annex A is aimed at operation
•
61508-2 Annex B and 61508-3 Annex A are organised acc. to lifecycle
• Especially useful to understand the importance/significance of the functionality of the
devices
