Application of EN50126 in Development of Kavach

The document discusses the application of EN50126 standards for the development of the Kavach railway safety system. It covers key areas like system hierarchy, factors influencing reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS) requirements, risk-based approaches, RAMS management and life cycle, safety case documentation, and ensuring adaptability for different project scopes and sizes. Verification, validation and independent safety assessment are also addressed.

Management of Railway RAMS
a) responsibilities for carrying out RAMS tasks.
b) all personnel with responsibilities within the RAMS management process are competent.
c) RAM Plan & Safety Plan is established.
d) The quality management system conforms to EN ISO 9001 rules or equivalent.
e) an adequate configuration management system, addressing RAMS tasks, are used.
f) Ensure that for each identified hazard or its RAM equivalent, it must be decided if the related risk
can be considered as “broadly acceptable”.
Application of this Standard and Adaptability
to Project Scope and Size
• Ensure that the tailoring should consider the following aspects:
• constraints given by the railway duty holder
• complexity of the system under consideration
• Check that the RAMS constraints related to the introduced interfaces
in case of incorporation of new or existing systems (subsystems,
products, etc.) are explicitly defined & referenced during Architecture
& apportionment of system requirements Phase.
• Renewal within existing systems
• Re-use or adaptation of a system with previous acceptance
Verification, Validation and Independent
Safety Assessment
RAMS Life Cycle
Ensure that the following aspects are analysed with respect to RAMS performance:
a) Objectives of each phase are defined clearly
b) Activities of each phase are defined clearly
The following aspects are analysed:
 the scope, context and purpose of the system
 the environment of the system, including:
physical issues, system interface issues & legislative and economic issues
 previous RAMS requirements & past RAMS performance of similar &/or related systems
 current RAMS policy & targets of the relevant railway duty holders
 safety legislation
• Ensure that the scope of the RAMS management requirements for subsequent system life cycle RAMS tasks are
defined.
RAMS Life Cycle
Safety Case
• Check that the safety case contains, as a minimum, the
following:
a) Definition of the system under consideration. It includes:
b) Quality Management Report. It includes: quality management activities
& evidence
c) Safety Management Report. It includes: safety management activities
& evidence
d) Technical Safety Report. It includes safety assurance activities &
evidence
e) Related safety cases
f) Conclusion.
