Som poking around on the net found this posting about SafetyNET p which mentions a bunch of IEC standards.

It mentions IEC 61158, in which "SafetyNET p has been accepted as a Type 22.". That presumably refers to the IEC 61158-3-22:2014 standard, which is now withdrawn but still available for purchase if you have CHF 220 burning a hole in your pocket.

It also says that "The standard series IEC 61784-2, which evaluates the real-time communication of an Ethernet based system, has been extended to include the communication profile CPF 18, which describes SafetyNET p. In doing so, both performance classes were listed, RTFL as CP 18-1 and RTFN as CP 18-2." That appears to be in IEC 61784-2:2019, which is now available for a low low CHF 405 (act now, operators are standing by), but which has been replaced by a collection of smaller documents which, given the apparent absence of a IEC 61784-2-18:2023 standard, may no longer include CPF 18.

And it also says "The acknowledgment of the internationalen standards IEC 61784-3 with regard to safe communication, including the extension of SafetyNET p, will be announced shortly." IEC 61784-3:2021 appears, at least from the table of contents in the preview, to have CPF 18, and that'll set you bach CHF 360, but maybe they'll throw in paint protection and nitrogen in your tires if you go for that document.

We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance
And if they don't dance
Well, they ain't no friends of mine"
