Abstract(in English) IEC TC65/SC65A has finished drafting the international standard, IEC1508: functional safety: safety-related systems, for CDV. The scope of the document is wide ranging and is applicable to all the application sectors. Although the draft is primarily concerned with safety-related control systems incorporating electrical/electronic/electronic programmable devices, it also lays down a framework applicable to safety-related systems irrespective of the technology on which those systems are based. The present paper, first, introduces main terminologies which are defined in the draft. Next, the two fundamental concepts which compose the standard: namely, a Safety Lifecycle and Safety Integrity Levels, are described. Then, the relationships between safety Lifecycle of a total system and software are introduced. The requirements for each phase of software lifecycle, i.e., software safety requirements, software validation planning, software design and development specifications, programmable electronic integration requirements, software operation and maintenance procedure, software safety validation/modification/verification reports and software functional safety assessment reports are mentioned. Finally, what is impact of the standard for Japanese industries is discussed.
