IEC 60880-2:2000 Software for computers important to safety for nuclear power plants - Part 2: Software aspects of defence against common cause failures, use of software tools and of pre-developed software
This part of IEC 60880 is applicable to the software of computer-based safety systems in nuclear power plants. It gives requirements for software for category A functions, systems and associated equipment (FSE). It addresses
· defence against common cause failures, caused by software;
· automated tools for the development of software important to safety; and
· use of pre-developed software.
Preparation and confirmation of data is dealt with within these three topics as appropriate.
