This document is a Technical Report about the basic standard. It is applicable to the same systems and addresses the same audience as the standard itself. It enhances information on specific items on the application of EN 50129. The following items are covered, within the scope of this Application Guideline of EN 50129, as follows: Clause 4 deals with identification and mitigation of failures in the concept, specification and design phases. It is mainly dedicated to designers and verifiers and product safety engineers; Clause 5 deals with the preparation of a safety case, enhancing points providing the required evidence for safety assessment and approval. It is mainly dedicated to verifiers, validators, safety managers, quality managers and safety engineers; Clause 6 deals with the activities an Independent Safety Assessor has to carry out. It is mainly dedicated to safety assessors, safety authorities, safety managers and safety approvals. In drafting this guidance, it is assumed that the reader is familiar with the basic structure of the standard. This document does not claim to be exhaustive. It is not a complete compilation of best practices, but only the translation of the knowledge of all the experts of the Working Group in charge of composition of this Application Guideline.

Introduction
EN 50129 was developed in CENELEC and is now regularly called up in specifications. In essence, it lists
factors that influence RAMS (see EN 50126-1) and adopts a broad risk-management approach to safety.
EN 50129 is the basic standard for safety related electronic systems for signalling.
Use of EN 50129 has enhanced the general understanding of the issues, but also showed, that items like
Safe Design, Safety Documents and Reports, Safety Assessment and Approval, and Cross-Acceptance
need further explanation and clarification. Therefore CENELEC decided to address those items in this
Application Guideline. The Cross Acceptance is included in CLC/TR 50506-1.
1 Scope
This document is a Technical Report about the basic standard. It is applicable to the same systems and
addresses the same audience as the standard itself. It enhances information on specific items on the
application of EN 50129. The following items are covered, within the scope of this Application Guideline of
EN 50129, as follows:
Clause 4 deals with identification and mitigation of failures in the concept, specification and design
phases. It is mainly dedicated to designers and verifiers and product safety engineers;
Clause 5 deals with the preparation of a safety case, enhancing points providing the required evidence
for safety assessment and approval. It is mainly dedicated to verifiers, validators, safety managers,
quality managers and safety engineers;
Clause 6 deals with the activities an Independent Safety Assessor has to carry out. It is mainly
dedicated to safety assessors, safety authorities, safety managers and safety approvals.
In drafting this guidance, it is assumed that the reader is familiar with the basic structure of the standard.
This document does not claim to be exhaustive. It is not a complete compilation of best practices, but only
the translation of the knowledge of all the experts of the Working Group in charge of composition of this
Application Guideline.
