Which standard provides the general, sector-independent framework for functional safety of electrical, electronic, and programmable electronic safety-related systems, from which the process-sector standard is derived?
- A.IEC 61508
- B.IEC 62443
- C.NERC CIP-014
- D.ISO 27001
Why A is correct
IEC 61508 is the foundational, industry-agnostic functional safety standard for E/E/PE systems, and IEC 61511 is the process-industry-specific implementation derived from it. IEC 62443 addresses industrial cybersecurity rather than functional safety.
