CASS TOES FOR THE OVERALL SAFETY LIFECYCLE ASSESSMENT (IEC 61508-1: 2010)

For general guidance on using CASS conformity assessment documents, refer to: ‘ Guidance for assessors on using the CASS TOEs’ available from www.61508.org/cass
Standard Version used: IEC 61508-1:2010
In the table below, E/E/PES is used as an abbreviation for Electrical/Electronic/Programmable-Electronic safety-related System
For every TOE, generally the rigour shall increase with increasing SIL

will allow the functional safety of the overall 1/Table 1
project to be developed, maintained, verified
etc.
To develop a level of understanding of the 1/7.2
Equipment Under Control (EUC) and it’s 1/ Table 1 Phase 1
environment (physical, legislative etc.) to
enable other safety life-cycle activities to be
carried out satisfactorily.
To implement all the requirements of the 1/7.13.2.1
Overall Installation Plan 1/Table 1 Phase12
To implement all the requirements of the 1/7.13.2.3
Overall Commissioning Plan 1/Table 1 Phase12
To report the results of the overall installation 1/7.13.2.2
& commissioning activities 1/7.13.2.4

To determine the boundary of the overall 1/7.3
project and determine the scope of the 1/Table 1 Phase2
hazard & risk analysis. E.g. process,
environmental hazards etc.
