187 Foreword
188 This document [prEN 50126-1:2012] has been prepared by CLC/TC 9X "Electrical and electronic
189 applications for railways".
190 This document is currently submitted to the Enquiry.
191 EN 50126 "Railway applications – The specification and demonstration of Reliability, Availability,
192 Maintainability and Safety (RAMS)" consists of the following parts:
193 – Part 1: Generic RAMS process;
194 – Part 2: Systems approach to safety;
195 – Part 4: Functional safety – Electrical/Electronic/Programmable electronic systems;
196 – Part 5: Functional safety – Software.
197 This new edition of EN 50126 (all parts) will supersede EN 50126-1:1999,
198 CLC/TR 50126-2:2007, CLC/TR 50126-3:2008, EN 50128:2011 and EN 50129:2003.
199 This part of EN 50126 covers the RAMS process. It is mainly based on EN 50126-1:1999.
200 This part of EN 50126 will supersede EN 50126-1:1999 (together with prEN 50126-2:2012),

205 Introduction
206 EN 50126-1:1999 was produced to introduce the application of a systematic RAMS management
207 process in the railway sector. For safety-related electronic systems for signalling, EN 50128 and
208 EN 50129 were produced. Through the application of these standards and the experiences
209 gained over the last years, the need for revision and restructuring became apparent with a need
210 to deliver a systematic and coherent approach to RAMS applicable to all the railway application
211 fields Signalling, Rolling Stock and Electric power supply for Railways (Fixed Installations).
212 The revision work improved the coherency and consistency of the standards, the concept of
213 safety management and the practical usage of EN 50126 and took into consideration the existing
214 and related Technical Reports as well.
215 This European Standard provides railway duty holders and the railway suppliers, throughout the
216 European Union, with a process which will enable the implementation of a consistent approach to
217 the management of reliability, availability, maintainability and safety, denoted by the acronym
218 RAMS.
219 Processes for the specification and demonstration of RAMS requirements are cornerstones of
220 this standard. T
