The Safety Critical Systems Handbook: A Straightforward Guide to Functional Safety, 6th edition is a practical, fully updated guide to achieving safer technology in systems that protect workers and the public against injury and death, while also addressing environmental risk. Building on IEC 61508 and related guidance, this sixth edition incorporates the latest 2026 updates, including clarified scope for artificial intelligence (software technology class), expanded coverage of human factors and security, and strengthened requirements for competence and levels of independence in functional safety assurance. It introduces enhanced technical expectations including relocated semiconductor content, new requirements for diagnostic functions and common cause failures, and expanded guidance on software off-line support tools. For systems engineering, it incorporates and extends IEC TS 61508:2016 to support Systematic Capability SC3 and SC4, clarifies the difference between SIL (required) and SC (achieved), and strengthens software lifecycle management, traceability, and regression testing, including new guidance for data-driven systems.

Provides the only comprehensive guide to IEC 61508 (updated for 2026) and 61511 (updated for 2016) that ensures engineers are compliant with the latest process safety systems design and operation standards
Clarifies 2026 updates including requirements for AI, human factors, and security, plus enhanced expectations for competence and independence in safety assurance activities
Extends software-focused guidance, introducing new requirements for diagnostic functions, common cause failures, software off-line support tools (SOFSTs), and strengthened lifecycle controls for achieving Systematic Capability (SC3/SC4)
Presents a real-world approach that helps users interpret the standard, with new case studies and best practice design examples using revised standards
Covers applications of the standard to device design

Dr. David J. Smith is the Proprietor of Technis Consultancy. He has written numerous books on Reliability and Safety over the last 40 years. His FARADIP database has become widely used, and his other software packages are also used throughout the profession. His PhD thesis was on the subject of reliability prediction and common cause failure. He contributed to the first drafting of IEC 61508 and chairs the IGEM panel which produces SR/15 (the gas industry safety related guidance). David is past President of the Safety and Reliability Society. Kenneth G. L. Simpson is Managing Director of Engineering Safety Consultants Ltd and has been associated with safety related systems design and also with their assessment for over 40 years. He is a member of both the IEC61508 and IEC61511 drafting committees and the IGEM (SR15) panel, which writes the gas industry guidance. Following a career in aerospace, Ken has spent over 35 years in the control and safety system industry, has written a number of papers on the topic and gives frequent lectures.
