IEC 61508:2010 — Functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems

# IEC 61508:2010 — Functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems — 46% of in-scope requirements covered.

6 requirements · 6 in scope (5 designed · 1 advisory). The 46% is weighted over the in-scope base.

**Source:** IEC 61508:2010 Parts 1-7 — the umbrella functional-safety standard defining Safety Integrity Levels (SIL 1-4), the safety lifecycle, and the management of functional safety. KYE™ governs the AUTHORITY, EVIDENCE and FINALITY of an AI-recommended physical-safety action against a SIL-validated model-authority claim; KYE™ does not perform the SIL determination nor certify the safety instrumented function. Starter requirement set (Wave-Ralph-Industrial); deepen by graft per the Foundry productisation template. · **License:** IEC — standard text is copyrighted; KYE™ registry paraphrases each requirement's intent and cites the official clause identifier for mapping purposes only.
