afaik within some countries and regions there are organizations that 
have procedures
to examine a software for critical applications and gives series of 
evaluations for
"security level" of the target . like Common Criteria , CC , and AEL 
levels in the
U.S or there are many MIL-STDs in NATO area..

is this what you are talking about ?
