A.3.1
IEC 61800 architectural categories
From the architectural point of view, IEC 61800 application is reflected in two tables, §6.2.2.3 Tab. 3 and Tab. 4,
for the two different types of classified devices. The CPU or the whole microcontroller, considered as complex
electronics parts, are classified as Type B. Also the concept of HFT is derived from IEC 61508 as it is.
Architectural remapping on IEC61508 is therefore straightforward.
A.3.2
IEC 61800 safety metrics computation
The PFH of a safety function performed by PDS(SR) is evaluated by the application of IEC 61508-2. The strong
link with the norm IEC 61508 is reflected also by the adoption in IEC 61800-5-2 of the same relevant metrics PFH,
ref. to §6.2.1, and SFF, ref. to §6.2.3.So, results of this Safety Manual (and related FMEA or FMEDA) can be re-
mapped in IEC61800 domain.
A.3.3
IEC 61800 work products
The following table lists the work products required by the IEC 61800-5-2 standard and their mapping with the
work products from IEC 61508 compliance activity.
