IEC 62859 Ed. 1.1 b – Nuclear power plants – Instrumentation and control systems – Requirements for coordinating safety and cybersecurity CONSOLIDATED EDITION

IEC 62859:2019 provides a framework to manage the interactions between safety and cybersecurity for nuclear power plant (NPP) systems, taking into account current IEC standards addressing these issues and the specifics of nuclear I&C programmable digital systems. This standard establishes requirements and guidance to:
– integrate cybersecurity provisions in nuclear I&C architectures and systems, which are fundamentally tailored for safety;
– avoid potential conflicts between safety and cybersecurity provisions;
– aid the identification and the leveraging of the potential synergies between safety and cybersecurity.
