what does functional safety mean in the context you are talking about? like fighter jets? or what?


LNG Plants, Burner Management Systems, Mine Winders, Conveyors - any process plant or machinery where there is potential for harm to come to humans and the is an electronic programmable device mitigating the risk, eg a Safety PLC running a Safety Instrumented System.

I am about to do some automotive FS, so that is potentially ISO 26262, but it might actually be more 61508, which is the parent standard for the safety group of standards.


He listed standards. They're for industrial processes and machines - think factories where the processes and machines have life-safety hazards.
