DescriptionReferenceTerm or ab-
breviation
Average frequency of dangerous failures per hour, that is,
average frequency of a dangerous failure of a safety related
system to perform the specified safety function over a given
period of time
IEC 61508PFH
Performance level. Levels a…e correspond to SILEN ISO 13849-1PL
Periodic test performed to detect failures in a safety-related
system so that, if necessary, a repair can restore the system
to an "as new" condition or as close as practical to this con-
dition

Proof test interval. T

is a parameter used to define the
probabilistic failure rate (PFH or PFD) for the safety function
or subsystem. Performing a proof test at a maximum interval
of T
1
is required to keep the SIL capability valid. The same
interval must be followed to keep the PL capability (EN ISO
13849) valid.

Mission time: the period of time covering the intended use
of the safety function/device. After the mission time elapses,
the safety device must be replaced. Note that any T
