Software at the Platform and Platform Integration Levels

Platform Software Systematic Capability
Use of IEC 61508 as a source for developing SDOs to protect against software CCF is based on EPRI research as documented in EPRI 3002011817, Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Certification Efficacy for Nuclear Power [4]. The EPRI researchers reviewed failure data associated with nine operating platforms

The researchers found no instances of software CCF in any of the SIL 3 certified platforms. The report concluded that SIL certifications appear to bean accurate indicator of software reliability at the platform level. Based on the results of the EPRI report, SIL 3 systematic capability has been selected as a reasonable benchmark to excluding platforms for software CCF consideration.
