IEC 61508 · Functional safety

Keep functional safety work traceable.

Safety reviews become harder when requirements and evidence are scattered. Link each requirement to the design and test records so engineers can check the work and find gaps.

Find how each safety requirement is addressed

Link requirements to the designs and tests that support them.

Find what needs checking after a change

Identify affected engineering records and verification work.

Make reviews easier to prepare

Bring source references, evidence and open questions together for engineers.

About IEC 61508

IEC 61508 is a functional safety standard series for safety-related systems that use electrical, electronic or programmable electronic technology.

Reference: IEC — IEC 61508.

Agree the standard edition, documents and reviews your project needs. KlugSpice helps prepare the evidence; formal assessment and certification decisions remain with the responsible assessors and authorities.

Connect this work to your project

Explore industrial engineering workflows and the separate IEC 62443 cybersecurity scope. For automotive projects, start with the ISO 26262 overview.

When discussing Physical AI and robotics, establish system boundaries and applicability before selecting the evidence scope. Connect the agreed scope to verification preparation.
