Again this is usually expressed as a percentage.
$$ SFF = \big( \Sigma\lambda_S + \Sigma\lambda_{DD} \big) / \big( \Sigma\lambda_S + \Sigma\lambda_D \big) $$
SFF determines how proportionately fail-safe a system is, not how reliable it is !

SIL Levels are how they are calculated
To achieve SIL levels, diagnostic coverage and SFF levels are prescribed along with
hardware architectures and software techniques.
Over all the aim of SIL is classify the safety of a system,
by statistically determining how frequently it can fail dangerously.

FMEDA is a modern extension of FMEA, in that it will allow for
self checking features, and provides detailed recommendations for computer/software architecture.
It also has a simple final result, a Safety Integrity Level (SIL) from 1 to 4 (where 4 is safest).
FMEA can be used as a term simple to mean Failure Mode Effects Analysis, and is
part of product approval for many regulated products in the EU and the USA...
