Consideration on the basis of DIN EN 61508 (DIN EN 61062)
Using the following formula, the PFH or λ
system without diagnosis (1oo1) is concerned, the following relationship applies:
1
PFH = λ
=
d
MTTF
PFH
= Probability of a failure to danger in FIT [1 x 10
λ
= Dangerous failure rate in FIT [1 x 10
d
FIT
= Failures in time (number of failures in 10
For the example above, the following applies to the calculation of the PFH and the λ
0,1
PFH = λ

This corresponds to 241.1 failures in 10
