INTRODUCTION
1 Scope
2 Normative references
3 Terms and definitions
4 Abbreviations
5 Conditions and strategy to cope with CCF
  5.1 General
  5.2 Characteristics of CCF
  5.3 Principal mechanisms for CCF of digital I&C systems
  5.4 Conditions to defend against CCF of individual
      I&C systems
  5.5 Design strategy to overcome CCF
6 Requirements to overcome faults in the requirements
  specification
  6.1 Deriving the requirements specification for the
      I&C from the plant safety design base
  6.2 Application of the defence-in-depth principle
      and functional diversity
  6.3 CCF related issues at existing plants
7 Design measures to prevent coincidental failure of
  I&C systems
  7.1 The principle of independence
  7.2 Design of independent I&C systems
  7.3 Application of functional diversity
  7.4 Avoidance of failure propagation via
      communications paths
  7.5 Design measures against system failure due to
      maintenance activities
  7.6 Integrity of I&C system hardware
  7.7 Precaution against dependencies from external dates or
      messages
  7.8 Assurance of physical separation and environmental
      robustness
8 Tolerance against postulated latent software faults
9 Requirements to avoid system failure due to maintenance
  during operation
Annex A (informative) - Relation between IEC 60880
                        and this standard

Gives requirements and recommendations for the overall architecture of I&C systems, which may contain either or both technologies.
