Thought it would be interesting to review what we have recommended a grad student acquire. I hope he has a good library. I brings up the problem of trying to make the right moral decisions. I assume anyone writing safety related software will start with this.
CHF $ IEC 61508-SER 1216 1,168.11 IEC 60601-1-SER 1520 1,460.13 ISO 14971 189 181.55 IEC 62304 270 259.36 IEC 62061 281 269.93 ISO 13849-1 189 181.55 ISO 13849-2 146 140.25 Nancy Levison's book, Safeware: System Safety and Computers 49.50 3,710.38 Obviously IEC, ISO and the other standards agencies are encouraging you all to do the right thing. It brings up a situation I ran into where our town was building a children's playground. The playground safety standard price was larger than the budget for the playground. The standard was ignored.

I'll defer to others (Marcelo...) for the medical standards, but since you also asked about industrial equipment, consider, Generic (electrical/electronic products): IEC 61508 www.iec.ch/61508/ This is massive, about 700 pages in 7 parts. For software, consider especially parts 1 and 3. Machinery-specific (electrical/electronic only): IEC 62061 [derived from IEC 61508] Machinery-specific (all technologies: lectrical/pneumatic/hydraulic/mechanical) ISO 13849-1 and -2 (There are many other standards based on/derived from IEC 61508.)
