About This Book If you want to achieve functional safety on a project, technically, the hardware and software must be SIL-compliant. But how do you achieve that? With functional safety management. FSM is at the heart of all SIL projects. If you understand FSM and you apply it correctly, every project will achieve compliance and, thus, SIL. In this book, the author explains the five core concepts that are at the basis of achieving functional safety. If you master these five concepts, your SIL projects will: - Will be completed faster. - Will be completed within budget. - Lead to profitable products and services. - Have more competent employees. Functional safety management is a requirement in all functional safety standards. Your product, service, solution, operation, maintenance and repair depend on it. You could not claim compliance with the standards if you did not implement functional safety management. Yet many companies do. This is no problem as long as no accidents happen.

This book aims to facilitate and improve development work related to all documents and information required by functional safety standards. Proof of Compliance (PoC) is important for the assessor and certification bodies when called up to confirm that the manufacturer has developed a software system according to the required safety standards. While PoC documents add functionality to the product neither for the developer nor for the customer, they do add confidence and trust to the product and ease certification, and as such are important for the product’s value. In spite of this added value, the documentation needed for PoC is often developed late in the project and in a haphazard manner. This book aims at developers, assessors, certification bodies, and purchasers of safety instrumented systems and informs the reader about the most important PoC documents. A typical PoC documentation encompasses 50 to 200 documents, several of which are named in the safety standards (e.g., 82 documents in IEC 61508:2010 series, 101 documents in EN 5012X series and 106 work products in ISO 26262:2018 series). These documents also include further references, typically one to twenty of them, and the total number of pages developed by the manufacturer varies between 2000 and 10000 pages. The book provides guidance and examples what to include in the relevant plans and documents.

There is no shortage of material that expounds the theory of functional safety, but precious little about the practice i.e. actual implementation in what is sometimes called the 'real world', where we routinely meet a variety of constraints that do not allow the theoretical model to be fully realised. This book is intended to bridge that gap. Readers are provided with the considerations that should inform their choices and judgements. The focus is on the process industries, but most of the material will have a direct 'read across' to other sectors. Questions considered include: * Functional safety misrepresentations and misunderstandings * Disconnects between theory & practice * SIL determination issues and ALARP considerations * How and when to use engineering judgement * How to manage competence * How to address systematic capability * How to handle legacy plant * Trip setting nomination & process safety time * Certification v 'Prior-Use' * How to validate failure rates during operation * How to manage useful life expiry * How to manage proof testing * What to expect from the regulator

This ebook explains what SIL and functional safety means in a nutshell. The book is intended for everybody who is new to functional safety and SIL and wants to have a full overview without being lost in the details. It is excellent for managers that need to understand quickly what functional safety is all about and how it will influence the work of their employees and their products and/or services. It is excellent for engineers and professionals that want to get started with functional safety and understand the big picture before going into detail. Many standards, guidelines and other publications exist that talk about functional safety. All of them with their own level of detail. This book does not to go into the details of what has to be done according to what standard and what not. It explains main functional safety concepts so that you know everything you need to know to get started. Functional safety is not rocket science and once you understand it and applied it a few times in practice you will notice it is just good engineering practice. This book tries to explain that good engineering practice. Functional safety standards can be confusing and contradicting at times and sometimes they require things that make no sense. You do not need to understand the standards in order to apply and be good at functional safety. If you understand the concepts explained in this book you can apply functional safety into your organisation and to your products, with or without following the exact requirements of standards. Actually once you understand how functional safety works you most likely will go beyond what standards say and create your own functional safety organisation of excellence. And if you do that, well then you are well on your way in becoming a longtime winner as suppose to a short term fuse.

This book highlights the current challenges for engineers involved in product development and the associated changes in procedure they make necessary. Methods for systematically analyzing the requirements for safety and security mechanisms are described using examples of how they are implemented in software and hardware, and how their effectiveness can be demonstrated in terms of functional and design safety are discussed. Given today’s new E-mobility and automated driving approaches, new challenges are arising and further issues concerning “Road Vehicle Safety” and “Road Traffic Safety” have to be resolved. To address the growing complexity of vehicle functions, as well as the increasing need to accommodate interdisciplinary project teams, previous development approaches now have to be reconsidered, and system engineering approaches and proven management systems need to be supplemented or wholly redefined. The book presents a continuous system development process, starting with the basic requirements of quality management and continuing until the release of a vehicle and its components for road use. Attention is paid to the necessary definition of the respective development item, the threat-, hazard- and risk analysis, safety concepts and their relation to architecture development, while the book also addresses the aspects of product realization in mechanics, electronics and software as well as for subsequent testing, verification, integration and validation phases. In November 2011, requirements for the Functional Safety (FuSa) of road vehicles were first published in ISO 26262. The processes and methods described here are intended to show developers how vehicle systems can be implemented according to ISO 26262, so that their compliance with the relevant standards can be demonstrated as part of a safety case, including audits, reviews and assessments.

Safety-critical devices, whether medical, automotive, or industrial, are increasingly dependent on the correct operation of sophisticated software. Many standards have appeared in the last decade on how such systems should be designed and built. Developers, who previously only had to know how to program devices for their industry, must now understand remarkably esoteric development practices and be prepared to justify their work to external auditors. Embedded Software Development for Safety-Critical Systems discusses the development of safety-critical systems under the following standards: IEC 61508; ISO 26262; EN 50128; and IEC 62304. It details the advantages and disadvantages of many architectural and design practices recommended in the standards, ranging from replication and diversification, through anomaly detection to the so-called "safety bag" systems. Reviewing the use of open-source components in safety-critical systems, this book has evolved from a course text used by QNX Software Systems for a training module on building embedded software for safety-critical devices, including medical devices, railway systems, industrial systems, and driver assistance devices in cars. Although the book describes open-source tools for the most part, it also provides enough information for you to seek out commercial vendors if that’s the route you decide to pursue. All of the techniques described in this book may be further explored through hundreds of learned articles. In order to provide you with a way in, the author supplies references he has found helpful as a working software developer. Most of these references are available to download for free.

Will Functional safety deliverables need to be tested and, if so, by whom? Is there a Functional safety management charter, including business case, problem and goal statements, scope, milestones, roles and responsibilities, communication plan? How is the value delivered by Functional safety being measured? What potential environmental factors impact the Functional safety effort? What tools do you use once you have decided on a Functional safety strategy and more importantly how do you choose? Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role... In EVERY company, organization and department. Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'
