Functional-safety is the discipline of ensuring that safety-related control systems perform their required functions correctly under all specified conditions, including fault states. It is defined by quantified performance targets (safety integrity levels) applied through a lifecycle of hazard analysis, requirements specification, design implementation, validation testing, and ongoing monitoring. The persistence mechanism is standardization (IEC 61508 series) and third-party certification of safety instrumented systems. [formal: functional-safety | substrate: behavior | horizon: a life | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Judgments (4)
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition correctly carves functional-safety: states parameters (quantified performance, fault states) and persistence mechanism (standards like IEC 61501, systematic design). Law 4 compliance. Trailer present.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition properly carves functional-safety: states parameters (quantified performance targets, fault states), persistence mechanism (IEC 61508/61511 standards), and ends with correct trailer. The definition is substantive and specific.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition properly carves functional-safety: specifies parameters (quantified performance, fault states, safety integrity levels) and persistence mechanism (IEC 61508/61511 standards). Ends with correct Law 6 trailer.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition of functional-safety carves well: specifies what it is (discipline of ensuring safety-related control systems perform functions correctly), its parameters (quantified performance targets, fault states), and persistence mechanism (standards-based certification regimes). Ends with proper Law 6 trailer. Good definition.
