Processes for the specification and demonstration of RAMS requirements are cornerstones of this standard. This European Standard aims to promote a common understanding and approach to the management of RAMS. This European Standard can be applied systematically by a railway authority and railway support industry, throughout all phases of the lifecycle of a railway application, to develop railway specific RAMS requirements and to achieve compliance with these requirements. The systems-level approach defined by this European Standard facilitates assessment of the RAMS interactions between elements of complex railway applications. This European Standard promotes co-operation between a railway authority and railway support industry, within a variety of procurement strategies, in the achievement of an optimal combination of RAMS and cost for railway applications. Adoption of this European Standard will support the principles of the European Single Market and facilitate European railway inter-operability. The process defined by this European Standard assumes that railway authorities and railway support industry have business-level policies addressing Quality, Performance and Safety. The approach defined in this standard is consistent with the application of quality management requirements contained within the ISO 9000 series of International standards. Page 6 EN 50126:1999 1 Scope 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.

The purpose of this clause is to provide the reader with sufficient background information to enable the effective application of this standard to railway systems. 4.1.2 Railway RAMS is a major contributor to the Quality of Service provided by a Railway Authority. Railway RAMS is defined by several contributory elements; consequently, this clause of this European Standard is structured as follows: a) Subclause 4.2 examines the relationship between railway RAMS and quality of service. b) Subclauses 4.3 to 4.8 examine aspects of railway RAMS, namely: the elements of RAMS; the factors which influence and means to achieve RAMS; risk and safety integrity. 4.1.3 Where possible within this clause, internationally defined terms are used but where new terms are required or where recognised terms have been made specific in the railway context, these are defined in clause 3 of this standard. 4.1.4 Within this European Standard, the sequence ”system, sub-system, component” is used to demonstrate the breakdown of any complete application into its constituent parts. The precise boundary of each term (system, sub-system and component) will depend upon the specific application. 4.1.5 A system can be defined as an assembly of sub-systems and components, connected together in an organised way, to achieve specified functionality. Functionality is assigned to sub-systems and components within a system and the behaviour and state of the system is changed if the sub-system or component functionality changes. A system responds to inputs to produce specified outputs, whilst interacting with an environment. 4.2 Railway RAMS and quality of service 4.2.1 This subclause introduces the link between RAMS and quality of service for an undertaking. 4.2.2 RAMS is a characteristic of a systems long term operation and is achieved by the application of established engineering concepts, methods, tools and techniques throughout the lifecycle of the system. The RAMS of a system can be characterised as a qualitative and quantitative indicator of the degree that the system, or the sub-systems and components comprising that system, can be relied upon to function as specified and to be both available and safe. System RAMS, in the context of this European Standard, is a c
