IET Safety and Security Code of Practice - Input needed

Briefing Document - we want your feedback

The IET Safety TPN has been working closely with the IET Standards Team on a scope for a new Safety and Security Code of Practice.   The briefiing document is attached so have a look and let us know what you think of the idea, does it cover what you would expect, would this be useful and any other comments that we can feed back to the committee.

Next Stage

Get involved and give us your thoughts on this page.


The next stage is to hold a scoping meeting at with around 30 interested stakeholders.  If you are interested in participating in a future scoping workshop on the area, please contact Andrew Cooney (Portfolio Development Manager, IET Standards).

IET Standards

For those of you who may not know a lot about the IET Standards, IET Standards publishes authoritative standards, codes of practice and guidance materials for professional engineers and other key stakeholders, using its expertise to achieve consensus on best practice in emerging and established technology fields. Have a look to see what we already have and what is coming soon.

    Hi Lynsay


    ​I am happy to assist. I will forward an email to Andrew as described.


    ​I agree with the concerns over scope but I also think there's a great opportunity here to clarify the approach and language about the way these two facets of system design interact. I believe the NCSC are soon to look at and perhaps update the old CPNI guidance regarding automation/SCADA systems. If somebody has a contact it might also be an opportunity to get some alignment between the two pieces of work.


    ​Regards

    David




    Hi David


    That is certainly something that we will pursue as it would be good to get others input on this, especially to align our workings.


    Thanks

    ​I agree with the concerns , however has a suggestion to develop a Integrated hand book covering various dimentions of safety , risk and reliability in the process industry as think there's a great opportunity of system design interact. I believe the we should liase with various IEC Standards like 60005, 600015 etc If somebody is in interest please do get in touch , together with IET we can bring out this book and align with Industry requirement..

  • The inaugural meeting took place on 21st April at Savoy Place.  There were a few familliar faces, and much discussion!  


    The Principles are being finalised, and a next meeting being proposed.
  • Thanks for the update, Andrew.  I hope we will be able to share another version for comment.

    Hello Lynsay


    This might align with some work we are undertaking.  We are primarily a safety regulator, but clearly that safety is heavily dependent on cyber security.


    So perhaps we can help/contribute.
