Applicable to any safety-related system which contains at least one electrical, electronic or programmable electronic based component and all subsystems and their components within an E/E/PE safety-related system. Gives details of how to refine the information developed in accordance with IEC 61508-1. Specifies requirements for activities to be applied during the design and manufacture of the E/E/PE safety-related systems and includes the application of techniques and measures. Also gives the necessary information for carrying out the installation, comissioning and final safety validation of the E/E/PE safety-related systems. Does not apply to the operation and maintenance phase of E/E/PE safety-related systems.
