4150 Introduction
4151 EN 50126-1:1999 was produced to introduce the application of a systematic RAMS management
4152 process in the railway sector. For safety-related electronic systems for signalling EN 50128 and
4153 EN 50129 were produced. Through the application of these standards and the experiences
4154 gained over the last years, the need for revision and restructuring became apparent with a need
4155 to deliver a systematic and coherent approach to RAMS applicable to all the railway application
4156 fields Signalling, Rolling Stock and Electric power supply for Railways (Fixed Installations).
4157 The revision work improved the coherency and consistency of the standards, the concept of
4158 safety management and the practical usage of EN 50126 and took into consideration the existing
4159 and related Technical Reports as well.
4160 This European Standard provides railway duty holders and the railway suppliers, throughout the
4161 European Union, with a process which will enable the implementation of a consistent approach to
4162 the management of reliability, availability, maintainability and safety, denoted by the acronym
4163 RAMS.
4164 Processes for the specification and demonstration of RAMS requirements are cornerstones of
4165 this standard. This European Standard promotes a common understanding and approach to the
4166 management of RAMS.
4167 EN 50126 is the railways sector specific application of IEC 61508. Meeting the requirements in
4168 this European Standard is sufficient to ensure that additional compliance to IEC 61508 does not
4169 need to be evaluated.
4170 With regard to safety EN 50126-1 provides a Safety Management Process which is supported by
4171 guidance and methods described in EN 50126-2.
4172 EN 50126-1 and EN 50126-2 are independent from the technology used. EN 50126-4 and
4173 EN 50126-5 provide guidance specific to safety-related E/E/PE technology of railway
4174 applications. Their application is determined through the application of the general RAMS
4175 process of EN 50126-1 and through the outcome of the safety-related methods described in
4176 EN 50126-2. As far as safety is concerned, EN 50126 takes the perspective of functional safety.
4177 This does not exclude other aspects of safety. However, these are not the focus.
4178 The aims set for revision of EN 50126 required a better understanding of the systems approach
4179 and improved methods for applying the safety management process described in EN 50126-1.
4180 EN 50126-2 provides this guidance.
4181 The application of this standard should be adapted to the specific requirements of the system
4182 under consideration.
4183 This European Standard can be applied systematically by the railway duty holders and railway
4184 suppliers, throughout all phases of the life-cycle of a railway application, to develop railway
4185 specific RAMS requirements and to achieve compliance with these requirements. The systems-
4186 level approach developed by this European Standard facilitates assessment of the RAMS
4187 interactions between elements of railway applications even if they are of complex nature.
4188 This European Standard promotes co-operation between the stakeholders of Railways in the
4189 achievement of an optimal combination of RAMS and cost for railway applications. Adoption of
4190 this European Standard will support the principles of the European Single Market and facilitate
4191 European railway inter-operability.
4192 The process defined by this European Standard assumes that railway duty holders and railway
4193 suppliers have business-level policies addressing Quality, Performance and Safety. The
4194 approach defined in this standard is consistent with the application of quality management
4195 requirements contained within the ISO 9001.

4196 In accordance with CENELEC editing rules , mandatory requirements in this standard are
4197 indicated with the modal verb “shall”. Where justifiable, the standard permits process tailoring.
4198 Specific guidance on the application of this standard in the case of process tailoring is provided
4199 in 7.3 of EN 50126-1. EN 50126-2 provides various methods for use in the safety management
4200 process. Where a particular method is selected for the system under consideration, the
4201 mandatory requirements of this method are by consequence mandatory for the safety
4202 management of the system under consideration.

4203 1 Scope
4204 This part of EN 50126
4205 considers the safety-related generic aspects of the RAMS life-cycle. The guidance in this
4206 part is still applicable in the application of specific standards;
4207 defines methods and tools which are independent of the actual technology of the systems
4208 and subsystems, whilst following EN 50126-4 and EN 50126-5 are related to E/E/PE internal
4209 systems/subsystems;
4210 provides:
4211 – the user of the standard with the understanding of the system approach to safety which
4212 is a key concept of EN 50126;
4213 – methods to derive the safety requirements and their safety integrity requirements for
4214 the system and to apportion it to the subsystems, be it for hardware or software;
4215 provides guidance and methods for the following areas:
4216 – system life-cycles as applicable to generic and specific applications, and to the generic
4217 products;
4218 – systems safety assurance;
4219 – risk assessment process;
4220 – risk management process;
4221 – application of risk acceptance principles and criteria;
4222 – safety integrity concept.
4223 provides the user with the methods to assure safety with respect to the system under
4224 consideration and its interactions. Examples are guidance on safety integrity by the
4225 apportionment amongst the various parts of a system or a method to derive the safety-
4226 related role of software as a precondition to apply EN 50126-5;
4227 enables the user to define the system under consideration, to identify the interfaces and the
4228 interactions of this system with its subsystems or other systems and to conduct the risk
4229 analysis;
4230 addresses railway specifics;
4231 does not define:
4232 – RAMS targets, quantities, requirements or solutions for specific railway applications;
4233 – rules or processes pertaining to the certification of railway products against the
4234 requirements of this standard;
4235 – an approval process by the safety authority.
4236 does not specify requirements for ensuring system security.
4237 This part 2 of EN 50126 is applicable
4238 to all systems under consideration - as regards safety - within the entire railway system and
4239 the stakeholders involved;
4240 to the specification and demonstration of safety for all railway applications and at all levels
4241 of such an application, as appropriate, from complete railway systems to major systems and
4242 to individual and combined sub-systems and components within these major systems,
4243 including those containing software; in particular:
4244 – to new systems;
4245 – to new systems integrated into existing systems in operation prior to the creation of this
4246 standard, although it is not generally applicable to other aspects of the existing system;
4247 – for modifications of existing systems in operation prior to the creation of this standard,
4248 although it is not generally applicable to other aspects of the existing system;
4249 – at all relevant phases of the life-cycle of an application;
4250 – for use by railway duty holders and the railway suppliers.
4251 It is not required to apply this standard to existing systems including those systems already
4252 compliant with any version of former EN 50126, EN 50128 or EN 50129, which remain
4253 unmodified. Railway applications mean Command, Control & Signalling, Rolling Stock and
4254 Electric Power Supply for Railways (Fixed Installations).
