ISO/IEC TS 17961:2013规定 -C编程语言中的安全编码规则，以及 -代码示例。 ISO/IEC TS 17961:2013未规定 -执行这些规则的机制，或 -要强制执行的任何特定编码样式。 本技术规范中的每条规则都附有代码示例。提供了两种不同类型的示例: -不顺从的例子展示了具有潜在安全隐患的弱点的语言结构；这样的例子被期望从一致性分析器引出对受影响的语言结构的诊断；和 -顺从的例子预计不会引发诊断。

SO/IEC TS 17961:2013 specifies - rules for secure coding in the C programming language, and - code examples. ISO/IEC TS 17961:2013 does not specify - the mechanism by which these rules are enforced, or - any particular coding style to be enforced. Each rule in this Technical Specification is accompanied by code examples. Two distinct kinds of examples are provided: - noncompliant examples demonstrating language constructs that have weaknesses with potentially exploitable security implications; such examples are expected to elicit a diagnostic from a conforming analyzer for the affected language construct; and - compliant examples are expected not to elicit a diagnostic.
