GB/T 20438.7-2006 Functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems - Part 7: Overview of techniques and measures (English Version)
1 Scope
1.1 This part of GB/T 20438 contains an overview of various safety techniques and measures relevant to GB/T 20438.2 and GB/T 20438.3.
Note: The references should be considered as basic references to methods and tools or as examples, and may not represent the state of the art.
1.2 GB/T 20438.1, GB/T 20438.2, GB/T 20438.3 and GB/T 20438.4 are basic safety publications, although this status does not apply in the context of low-complexity E/E/PE safety-related systems (see 3.4.4 of GB/T 20438.4-2006). As basic safety standards, they are intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles contained in IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51. GB/T 20438 is also intended for use as a stand-alone standard.
One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of basic safety standards in the preparation of its own standards. In this context, the requirements, test methods or test conditions of this basic safety standard will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the standards prepared by those technical committees.
Note: The functional safety of an E/E/PE safety-related system can only be achieved when all related requirements are met. Therefore it is important that all related requirements are carefully considered and adequately referenced.
1.3 Figure 1 shows the overall framework of GB/T 20438 and indicates the role that GB/T 20438.7 plays in the achievement of functional safety for E/E/PE safety-related systems.
