Appendix A Relevant norms and standards A.1 A Short Overview of the Most Relevant Process Standards There is a huge number of different process standards, and Fig. A.1 contains an overview of the most relevant such standards as covered in this book, showing the topics covered. A more extensive list of the relevant standards will be provided in the following section below. ISO/IEC 15504, ISO 19011 ISO/IEC 330xx Auditing man- agement systems Process Process assessment ISO/IEC 20000-1 ISO 9001 ISO/IEC 15504-6 ISO/IEC 15504-5 Service management QM system re- System life cycle PAM Software life cycle PAM Assessments, audits Criteria system requirements quirements ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207 ITIL System life cy- Software life cy- IT Infrastruc- cle processes cle processes ture Library COBIT Life cycle processes SWEBoK Software engineering Funda- Body of Knowledge mentals ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765 ISO 9000 Systems and SW Engineering Vocabulary QM fundamentals (SEVOCAB) and vocabulary Vocabulary Systems Software Organzational IT Quality Management Engineering Engineering Fig. A.1 Overview of the most important standards for software processes © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2018 327 R. Kneuper, Software Processes and Life Cycle Models, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-98845-0 328 A Relevant norms and standards A.2 ISO and IEC Standards The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is the main international standard-setting organisation, working with representatives from many national standard-setting organisations. Standards referring to electrical, electronic and re- lated technologies, including software, are often published jointly with its sister organisation, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), but IEC also publishes a number of standards on their own. Recently, ISO and IEC started to publish relevant standards jointly with the US- American Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). IEEE also pub- lished a number of relevant standards on their own, see Sect. A.3. The following table lists the main standards that are relevant in the context of software processes. The editions are the latest editions of these standards at the time of writing. The list is ordered by the numbers of the standards, independent of the exact organisation(s) that published it. Many of the norms and standards in this list were also re-published by other national and international organisations, sometimes after translation into another language. For example, the norm ISO 9001 listed below was also published as a European norm EN ISO 9001, and as a German national norm DIN EN ISO 9001 (and similarly in many other countries as well). “TR” in the identification of a standard shows that this document is published by ISO as a technical report as opposed to an international standard. Similarly, “TS” identifies a technical standard issued by ISO. The year at the end of the ID of any of these standards, after the colon, defines the year when this standard was released. In general, ISO and IEC standards must be bought and tend to be fairly expensive. However, some of the following standards are available for free download from the ISO web page at [5]. These standards are marked (*) in the list below.

There are many different open source real-time operating systems available and the use of open source software for safety-critical applications is considered highly interesting by industries such as medical, aerospace and automotive as it enables a shorter time to market and lower development costs. If one would like to use open source software in a safety-critical context one would have to provide evidence that the software being used fulfills the requirement put forth by the industry specific standard for functional safety, such as the ISO 26262 standard for the automotive industry.

    SAFE TORQUE OFF a Guide to the Application of the Control Techniques Safe Torque Off Safety Function and Its Compliance with IEC 61800-5-2 SAFE TORQUE OFF

    SAFE TORQUE OFF A guide to the application of the Control Techniques Safe Torque Off safety function and its compliance with IEC 61800-5-2 SAFE TORQUE OFF 1. Purpose of this guide This application guide gives general explanations, advice and guidance for the use of the Safe Torque Off (STO) feature which is provided in many of Control Techniques’ variable speed drive products. It supplements the specific product information given in the product Technical Guides. In the event of any discrepancy the product Technical Guide takes precedence. Most of the information is general in nature and applies to all models. Some model- specific information is given in Annex 1. Important warnings The design of safety-related systems requires specialist knowledge. To ensure that a complete control system is safe it is necessary for the whole system to be designed according to recognised safety principles. The use of individual sub-systems such as drives with Safe Torque Off functions, which are intended for safety- related applications, does not in itself ensure that the complete system is safe. The information given in this publication gives guidance on the application of Control Techniques Safe Torque Off, and also some general background material on the design of safety-related systems for machinery control. This publication is not intended to form a complete guide to the subject. Some more detailed references are given at the end of the guide. The information provided is believed to be correct and to reflect accepted practice at the time of writing. It is the responsibility of the designer of the end product or application to ensure that it is safe and in compliance with the relevant regulations.
