1.1 This European Standard:

  • defines RAMS in terms of reliability, availability, maintainability and safety and their interaction;

  • defines a process, based on the system lifecycle and tasks within it, for managing RAMS;

  • enables conflicts between RAMS elements to be controlled and managed effectively;

  • defines a systematic process for specifying requirements for RAMS and demonstrating that these requirements are achieved;

  • addresses railway specifics;

  • does not define RAMS targets, quantities, requirements or solutions for specific railway applications;

  • does not specify requirements for ensuring system security;

  • does not define rules or processes pertaining to the certification of railway products against the requirements of this standard;

  • does not define an approval process by the safety regulatory authority.

1.2 This European Standard is applicable:

  • to the specification and demonstration of RAMS for all railway applications and at all levels of such an application, as appropriate, from complete railway routes to major systems within a railway route, and to individual and combined sub-systems and components within these major systems, including those containing software; in particular:

  • to new systems;

  • to new systems integrated into existing systems in operation prior to the creation of this standard, although it is not generally applicable to other aspects of the existing system;

  • to modifications of existing systems in operation prior to the creation of this standard, although it is not generally applicable to other aspects of the existing system.

  • at all relevant phases of the lifecycle of an application;

  • for use by Railway Authorities and the railway support industry.

NOTE Guidance on the applicability is given in the requirements of this standard.
