MIL-STD-882 "System Safety Program Requirements"/"Standard Practice for System Safety"

Issue C of MIL-STD-882 (entitled "System Safety Program Requirements") was released on 19th January 1993, and Issue D (entitled "Standard Practice for System Safety") was released on 10th February 2000.

Issue C describes multiple tasks which can be used to meet the general requirements of the standard; Issue D omitted this detail. This has led to many organisations using Issue C.

This safety standard addresses a wide range of safety management and safety engineering issues, but does not address as wide a range of engineering issues.

In particular MIL-STD-882 provides only a scant version of the concept of a Safety Integrity Level (SIL) to be followed in the development of software, and thus this safety standard is commonly paired with another such as RTCA/DO-178 "Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification" to fill this gap.
