The IEC 60730 Class B standard defines safety requirements for automatic electrical controls in household appliances, mandating diagnostic mechanisms that ensure safe operation under fault conditions.
Despite its widespread adoption, IEC 60730 implementations remain fragmented and vendor-specific, typically delivered as proprietary libraries tightly coupled to individual MCUs. This approach limits portability, duplicates engineering effort, and prevents meaningful integration with modern open-source ecosystems.
This talk presents an open, reusable IEC 60730 Class B diagnostic framework built on Zephyr RTOS, demonstrating how functional safety mechanisms can be implemented in a portable and extensible way. The framework includes key diagnostics such as power-on self-tests, periodic runtime checks, watchdog supervision, and safe-state handling.
This work establishes a foundation for standardizing safety mechanisms in Zephyr and aims to catalyze community collaboration around common APIs and reference implementations for safety-critical embedded systems.
The session is targeted at embedded developers working on consumer appliances and industrial control systems.
