Nuclear power plants. Instrumentation and control systems important to safety. Software aspects for computer-based systems performing category B or C functions
核电站 仪表和控制系统对安全非常重要 执行B类或C类功能的基于计算机的系统的软件方面
This document specifies requirements for the software of computer-based instrumentation and control (I&C) systems performing functions of safety category B or C as defined by IEC 61226. It complements IEC 60880 which provides requirements for the software of computer-based I&C systems performing functions of safety category A.
It is consistent with, and complementary to, IEC 61513. Activities that are mainly system level activities (for example, integration, validation and installation) are not addressed exhaustively by this document: requirements that are not specific to software are deferred to IEC 61513.
The link between functions categories and system classes is given in IEC 61513. Since a given safety-classified I&C system may perform functions of different safety categories and even non safety-classified functions, the requirements of this document are attached to the safety class of the I&C system (class 2 or class 3).
This document is not intended to be used as a general-purpose software engineering guide. It applies to the software of I&C systems of safety classes 2 or 3 for new nuclear power plants as well as to I&C upgrading or back-fitting of existing plants.
For existing plants, only a subset of requirements is applicable and this subset has to be identified at the beginning of any project.
The purpose of the guidance provided by this document is to reduce, as far as possible, the potential for latent software faults to cause system failures, either due to single software failures or multiple software failures (i.e. Common Cause Failures due to software).Cross References:EN 60880:2009EN 61513:2013IEC 60880:2006IEC 61226EN 61226IEC 62671:2013IEC 61513:2011EN ISO 9001:2015IEC 61511-1:2016IEC 61508-3:2010ISO 9001:2015IEC 61508-4:2010EN 61508-3:2010All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
