Requirements met by this process step | CSM-SMS guidance 1.1 d) |
Inputs | Expert knowledge European railway legislation as maintained by the European Railway Agency National railway legislation (e.g. German railway legislation) Regulatory framework (e.g. DB regulatory framework) A list of input documents, including the version numbers (to be developed outside ARCH and maintained when changes occur) |

Methodology | There are multiple possible sources of definitions for safety-related accidents, safety targets, hazards, and other safety-related items needed for a consistent analysis. This task is to arbitrate between any conflicting rules and arrive at a single decision for each type of safety rule and source of information, ensuring that the single source of truth is sufficient to meet all requirements from all relevant original sources. For example, if accidents are defined differently in several places, this task includes the decision on a preferred source for the accident set, or concludes that a new definition is needed that does not match any existing standards (in this case, an explanation should be noted, in case of queries by approval bodies). The following sources, as a minimum, must be examined:
|
Tools and non-human resources | Any preferred documentation tool (suggestion: document first in a Confluence page) |
Cardinality | One-off with revisions allowed |
Completion criteria | All relevant legislation and regulations have been identified The safety compliance strategy for System of interest specifies one consistent approach to safety that satisfies all relevant legislation and regulations.
