This unified approach has been adopted to develop a rational and coherent technical policy for all electrical-based safety-related systems. The main goal is to facilitate the development of international product and application industry standards based on the IEC EN 61508 series.

Definitions were gathered under general headings so that the related terms could be understood within each other. However, it should be noted that these titles do not aim to add meaning to the definitions.

One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is to leverage key security publications in the preparation of their publications, where applicable. In this context, the requirements, test methods or test conditions of this essential safety publication will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the publications prepared by such technical committees.

Systems consisting of electrical or electronic elements have been used for many years to perform safety functions in most application sectors. Computer-based systems (commonly referred to as programmable electronic systems) are used in all application sectors to perform non-security functions and increasingly to perform security functions. If computer system technology is to be used effectively and safely, it is important that those responsible for making those decisions have adequate guidance on the security aspects from which they will make those decisions.
