Abstract
The main standard bases for NPP instrumentation and control (I&C) systems are documents of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Standards are interconnected through the following: IAEA develops general safety principles for NPP I&C systems, and IEC develops technical requirements that use and specify safety principles. Structures of both bases are considered. IAEA and IEC safety classification principles are described. Classifications of I&C systems and their components are given on the basis of their safety impact. According to IEC, functions to be performed by I&C systems shall be assigned to categories according to their importance to safety. The importance to safety of a function shall be identified by means of the consequences in the event of its failure, when it is required to be performed, and by the consequences in the event of a spurious actuation.
