Learning Objectives

The seminar is focused on the standards EN50126, EN51028, EN50129 and EN50159 and is intended to provide an overview of the requirements for a safety demonstration. For this purpose, the entire life cycle of a railway system, starting with the system definition and identification of the hazards, determining the safety requirements and evidences of control of hazards is described.

Who will benefit?

Developers, testers, project leads, quality representatives and safety officers primarily focusing on the development of programmable electronic safety systems; users and integrators of safety devices and systems, etc.
