EN 50128:2011/A2:2020 (E)
European foreword
This document (EN 50128:2011/A2:2020) has been prepared by SC 9XA, “Communication, signalling and
processing systems”, of Technical Committee CENELEC TC 9X, “Electrical and electronic applications for
railways”.
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which this document has to be (dop) 2021-06-22
implemented at national level by publication of
an identical national standard or by
endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards (dow) 2023-06-22
conflicting with this document have to be
withdrawn

The EN 50128:2011 standard was amended to align with EN 50126-1:2017, EN 50126-2:2017 and
EN 50129:2018. In addition, some technical mistakes were corrected and some clarifications were added.
This European Standard should be read in conjunction with EN 50126-1:2017 “Railway applications –
The specification and demonstration of Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS) – Part 1:
Generic RAMS Process”, EN 50126-2:2017 “Railway applications – The specification and demonstration of
Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS) – Part 2: Systems Approach to Safety” and
EN 50129:2018 “Railway applications – Communication, signalling and processing systems – Safety related
electronic systems for signalling”.

1 General Changes
All occurrences of SIL 0 within EN 50128:2011 are replaced with Basic Integrity (EN 50126-1:2017, 3.7).
All occurrences of safety function(s) are replaced with safety-related function(s).
Use of the term “EN 50126-1” is replaced by “EN 50126-1 and EN 50126-2”.
The term “assessment” in the standard means “independent safety assessment” as per definition of
EN 50126-1:2017, 3.33.
All statements qualified by the words “software safety integrity level” are applicable also to Basic Integrity.
2 Modification to the Introduction
The following paragraph is added at the end of the Introduction:
This European Standard does not specify the requirements for the development, implementation,
maintenance and/or operation of security policies or security services needed to meet security requirements
that may be needed by the safety-related system. IT security can affect not only the operation but also the
functional safety of a system. For IT security, appropriate IT security standards should be applied.
NOTE IEC/ISO standards that address IT security in depth are ISO 27000 series, ISO/IEC TR 19791 and the
IEC 62443 series.
3 Modification to the Scope
The following subclause 1.10 is added:
1.10 For the development of User Programmable Integrated Circuits (e.g. FPGA and CPLD) guidance is
provided in EN 50129:2018, Annex F.
4 Modification to Clause 2, Normative references
Replace the list of normative references by the following:
EN 50126-1:2017, Railway applications – The specification and demonstration of Reliability, Availability,
Maintainability and Safety (RAMS) – Part 1: Generic RAMS Process
EN 50126-2:2017, Railway applications – The specification and demonstration of Reliability, Availability,
Maintainability and Safety (RAMS) – Part 2: Systems Approach to Safety
EN 50129:2018, Railway applications – Communication, signalling and processing systems – Safety related
electronic systems for signalling
EN ISO 9000:2015, Quality management systems – Fundamentals and vocabulary
EN ISO 9001:2015, Quality management systems – Requirements
