 System Safety Requirements
 Architecture & Apportionment of system
requirements.
 After performing the risk analysis, a function can be
identified as “safety related” and assigned with the safety
requirements.
 Safety requirements can be categorized as follows:
 Functional Safety Requirements
 Non –functional Requirements
(i) Technical Safety Requirements
(ii) Contextual Safety Requirements
 Functional safety requirements
 Functional safety requirements are the requirements that
are related to functions that are fundamental to the system
and the prime reason for its creation.
 They express the behaviour of the system and are
complemented by properties that improves the level of
performance( e.g. safety ,accuracy , timing etc )
 Technical Safety Requirements
 Technical safety requirements can be derived from different
aspects such as maintainability , enviornmental conditions,
potential threats created by the technology /system /
subsystem .
 For e.g. Fire Hazards , presence of combustible material,
presence of harmful agents/substances mechanical strength,
unsafe behaviour under physical conditions such as
moisture, heat etc.
 Contextual Safety Requirements
 Contextual safety requirements cover operational &
Maintenance safety requirements.
 Operational safety requirements includes:
(i) Operational procedures for normal & abnormal operation
modes.
(ii) Assumptions about safety related operational restrictions
for eg: speed, no. of trains operating , average operating
time .
 Safety Integrity relates to the ability of a safety related
system to achieve its required safety functions.
 The higher the safety integrity , the lower the likelihood that
it will fail to carry out the required safety functions.
 There are 5 Safety Integrity levels: SIL 0, SIL 1 , SIL 2, SIL 3 ,
SIL 4 .
 The architecture is based on a structured decomposition into
subsystems and/ or components with completely defined
interfaces between the subsystems and/or components.
 System safety requirements are apportioned to the
designated sub-systems and/or components.
 Techniques/Measures for Architecture are detailed in Table
E.4 EN 50129.
