EN 50126 Insights

What is EN 50126?

EN 50126 is a European Standard that specifies and demonstrates the requirements for RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety) management in railway applications. It defines a systematic process for managing these attributes throughout the entire lifecycle of railway systems and equipment. It aims to ensure that railway systems are safe, reliable, available, and maintainable. The standard covers all phases of the lifecycle, from concept to decommissioning, and applies to both new and modified systems.

IEC 61508

IEC 61508 is a generic standard for functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems. While EN 50126 is specific to railway applications, IEC 61508 provides a more general framework that could be applied in other industries, acting as a competitor. However, EN 50126 takes precedence in the railway domain.
