When you hear about <strong>Route 1<sub>H<\/sub> <\/strong>and <strong>2<sub>H<\/sub><\/strong> you are probably in the domain of <strong>Low Demand Mode <\/strong>Safety Instrumented Systems and the main standard is IEC 61511.

The component needs a certain value of Safe Failure Fraction to understand how good it intrinsically is. That was the way defined since the first edition of IEC 61508 series to guide both the component manufacturer and the process designer in defining safety components and safety systems: the method was defined <strong>Route 1H<\/strong>.
