Appendix 1: Possibilities to reveal dangerous undetected faults during the
proof test
According to section 7.4.3.2.2 f) of IEC 61508-2 proof tests shall be undertaken to reveal
dangerous faults which are undetected by diagnostic tests.
This means that it is necessary to specify how dangerous undetected faults which have been
noted during the FMEDA can be detected during proof testing.
Table 7 and Table 8 show a sensitivity analysis of the ten most critical dangerous undetected
faults and indicate how these faults can be detected during proof testing.
Appendix 1 shall be considered when writing the safety manual as it contains important safety
related information.
