breviation
Classification of the safety-related parts of a control system
in respect of their resistance to faults and their subsequent
behavior in the fault condition, and which is achieved by the
structural arrangement of the parts, fault detection and/or by
their reliability. The categories are: B, 1, 2, 3 and 4.

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
