Cenelec Standard Training Part 1

This document discusses EN 50126-1 and EN 50126-2 standards for railway safety. It outlines the system life cycle phases, roles and responsibilities like project manager, designer, verifier and validator. The independence of roles in early and later phases is explained. The hourglass model detailing the major safety activities is also summarized. The objectives of verification and validation at different phases are provided along with the need for independence of assurance roles and their competency evaluation by the independent safety assessor.

 Introduction to EN 50126-1 & -2
 Organization & Independence of Roles
 Roles & Responsibilities
 System Life Cycle Phases
 Risk Concept
 Verification & Validation Activities
 EN 50126-1 considers the generic aspects of the
RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability &
safety) life cycle and defines a process, based on the
system life cycle and tasks within it, for managing
RAMS.
 EN 50126-2 considers the safety-related generic
aspects of the RAMS life-cycle and defines methods
and tools which are independent of the actual
technology of the systems and subsystems.
 Safety Plan shall define how the roles defined
in EN 50126-2 are covered by project
organization and who is assigned to the roles.
 Independence of the roles in early phases (1
to 4) and later phases ( Phase 5 onwards) can
be same or different as shown in next slides.

 Responsibilites and competencies of each
role is detailed in Annex G of EN 50126-2.
 Roles & the assigned personel should ideally
remain unchanged throughout the
development project.
 ISA shall evaluate the competency of the

 Hourglass model is detailed in EN 50126-2 §5.
 It provides an overview of the major safety
related activities that are needed to ensure an
acceptable safety level for a technical system.
 The purpose of this model is to highlight the
seperation between risk analysis as part of risk
assessment from Hazard analysis as part of
Hazard control.
 In Hourglass model, Part A is associated with
Phases 1-3 ,Part B corresponds to Phase 4 & Part
C to Phases 5-9.

 The objective of the verification is to
demonstrate that the requirements of each
life cycle phase have been fulfilled.
 Verification of the activities and deliverables
of each phase defined in clause 7 of EN
50126-1 shall be conducted.
 ISA shall evaluate the verification and
validation activities and the supporting
evidence.
 Validation activities are performed at Life
cycle Phase 4 “ Specification of System
Requiements” to assure that system
requirements have been properly specified
and at Life cycle phase 9 to assure that the
system under consideration meets the
specific requirements for the intended use or
application.
 Validation reports are produced at the end of
Phase 4 & Phase 9 of the lifecycle.
