SFF IEC 61508 Safe failure fraction (%)
SIL IEC 61508 Safety integrity level (1…3)
SILCL EN 62061 Maximum SIL (level 1…3) that can be claimed for a safety
function or subsystem
STO IEC/EN 61800-5-2 Safe torque off
T1 IEC 61508 Proof test interval. T1 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 T1 is required to keep the SIL
capability valid. The same interval must be followed to keep
the PL capability (EN ISO 13849) valid. Note that any T1
values given cannot be regarded as a guarantee or
warranty.
