Additional specific requirements to supplement the criteria and requirements of IEEE Std 603(TM) are specified for programmable digital devices. Within the context of this standard, the term programmable digital device is any device that relies on software instructions or programmable logic to accomplish a function. Examples include a computer, a programmable hardware device, or a device with firmware. Systems using these devices will also be referred to as digital safety systems in this standard. The criteria contained herein, in conjunction with criteria in IEEE Std 603, establish minimum functional and design requirements for programmable digital devices used as components of a safety system

Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
P63160
Nuclear Power Plants - Instrumentation, Control and Electrical Power Systems Important to Safety - Common Cause Failure Systems Analysis and Diversity
This standard establishes the principles of analysis for and the documentation of the defenses provided against Common Cause Failure (CCF) of Electrical, Instrumentation and Control systems in nuclear facilities. It covers CCF from hazards and also from systematic faults. The standard does not provide requirements on detailed design or of acceptance criteria for the adequacy of CCF defense.
P7-4.3.2
Standard Criteria for Programmable Digital Devices in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Generating Stations
This standard serves to amplify criteria in IEEE Std 603(TM), to address the use of programmable digital devices as part of safety systems in nuclear power generating stations. The criteria contained herein, in conjunction with criteria in IEEE Std 603, establish minimum functional, performance and design requirements for programmable digital devices used as components of a safety system.
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
7-4.3.2-2003
IEEE Standard Criteria for Digital Computers in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Generating Stations
Additional computer specific requirements to supplement the criteria and requirements of IEEE Std 603-1998 are specified. Within the context of this standard, the term computer is a system that includes computer hardware, software, firmware, and interfaces. The criteria contained herein, in conjunction with criteria in IEEE Std 603-1998, establish minimum functional and design requirements for computers used as components of a safety system.
7-4.3.2-2010
IEEE Standard Criteria for Digital Computers in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Generating Stations
Additional computer specific requirements to supplement the criteria and requirements of IEEE Std 603-2009 are specified. Within the context of this standard, the term computer is a system that includes computer hardware, software, firmware, and interfaces. The criteria contained herein, in conjunction with criteria in IEEE Std 603-2009, establish minimum functional and design requirements for computers used as components of a safety system.
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
