• new EN number,
• Complete and thorough review with the focus on simplification and streamlining to improve
clarity and consistency of requirements.
• Applicability guidelines to the different space systems has been defined (see applicability matrix

This document has been prepared under a standardization request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
This document has been developed to cover specifically space systems and has therefore precedence
over any EN covering the same scope but with a wider domain of applicability (e.g. : aerospace).
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of
Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,

in particular for the following terms:
1. accident
2. failure
3. catastrophic

3.2 Terms specific to the present standard
3.2.1 cause
action or condition by which a hazardous event is initiated (an initiating event)
NOTE 1 The cause can arise as the result of failure,
human error, design inadequacy, induced or
natural environment, system configuration or
operational mode(s).
NOTE 2 This definition is specific to this Standard,
when used in the context of hazard analysis.

3.2.2 criticality
classification of a function or of a software, hardware or operation according to
the severity of the consequences of its potential failures
NOTE 1 Refer to clauses 6.4.1 and 6.5.6.
NOTE 2 This notion of criticality, applied to a function
or a software, hardware or operation, considers
only severity, differently from the criticality of a
failure or failure mode (or a risk), which also
considers the likelihood or probability of
occurrence.
3.2.3 fail safe
property of a system (or part of it), which prevents its failures from resulting in
critical or catastrophic consequences
3.2.4 hazard control
preventive or mitigation measure, associated to a hazard scenario, which is
introduced into the system design and operation to avoid the events or to
interrupt their propagation to consequence
3.2.5 hazardous command
command that can remove an inhibit to a safety-critical function or activate a
hazardous subsystem
3.2.6 hazard reduction
process of elimination or minimization and control of hazards
3.2.7 hazard scenario
sequence of events leading from the initial cause to the unwanted safety
consequence
NOTE The cause can be a single initiating event, or an
additional action or a change of condition
activating a dormant problem.
3.2.8 operator error
failure of an operator to perform an action as required or trained or the
inadvertent or incorrect action of an operator
3.2.9 safety approval authority
entity that defines or makes applicable, for a given project, detailed technical
safety requirements, and reviews their implementation
3.2.10 safety audit
independent examination to determine whether the procedures specific to the
safety requirements are implemented effectively and are suitable to achieve the
specified objectives

measure of the threat to safety posed by the hazard scenarios and their
consequences
NOTE 1 Safety risk is always associated with a specific
hazard scenario or a particular set of scenarios.
The risk posed by a single scenario is called
individual scenario risk. The risk posed by a set
of scenarios with the same top consequence is
called overall risk.
